Days are long, but years are short...

So, this new blogging thing I planned to do lasted...well...ummm...let's just say I blogged once 10 months ago. Interesting that I talked about how simple life was. Simple, indeed, but not simple enough to keep up with the blogging world.

Let's try this again...

We recently celebrated Layla's first birthday...new year for our girl, so let's go from there...


Here's an up close of the photo on the invite...enjoyed making this outfit from the tip on the hat to the bottom of the curl on the tutu ribbon!

Here are some other shots of the party decor! Mommy wanted cute stuff, so she figured out how to make it...crazy how being a mom can make you crafty!





 LOVE this balloon wreath!

Paula gave me this ice bucket years ago...it is so adorable!


Marshmallow pops...yum!



Party hats...cheap (ugly) paper hats covered in cute paper and topped with a pom pom. :)



Elmo's best friend is Dorothy the goldfish...each child was given a goldfish to take home.




I ordered her cake from The Flour Garden in Memphis...LOVED IT!

AND HERE SHE IS...THE BIRTHDAY GIRL AND HER CAKE!








Look who surprised our girl!



It was a GREAT DAY shared by MANY people who love our girl...
