First Birthday - Butterfly Style!

I was inspired to do a butterfly theme birthday for Kayla after Kelly sent me some adorable cupcakes with chocolate butterflies on top. So these cupcakes became the center of the party and they were definitely the biggest hit and most loved by the birthday girl who got two butterflies on top of her cake!


We had a great party with friends and family. The morning was clear and sunny, the backyard was decked with paper butterflies and green egg-carton caterpillars feeding on grass, and we had lots of fun surprises for all of our young guests...tattoos, butterfly wind chimes that they decorated with special paint, and the elefun game.


We honored Grandma's memory by making her special egg casserole (thanks mom for helping me all day Friday!) Kelly made coffee cake and berries rounded out the meal. Everyone had a great time just hanging out in the yard, especially the kids who thankfully were at the other end most of the time!

Happy Birthday our sweet angel. We love you so much and we will never forget your first birthday!

Hmm, should I eat these? They are so pretty...what do I do?

Oh, wow, now I get it!

Just Mommy, Daddy and our Birthday Girl!
