Birthday Party

It is sad to say, but Paige's first birthday party has been on my mind for months!  I have been so excited about it for some reason.  I guess it is because of the huge milestone of turning one!  I wanted her to have a great party and of course it had to be on a budget too!   I did splurge on invitations because I feel like that is what is the first thing people see and think about the party...well, I got a great deal on it so it really wasn't splurging.  I think I spent $20 on the design and printing total. 

 

The party was this past Saturday morning from 10-11:30.  We just had it at our house and had some toys set up outside and inside.  Snacks for people to enjoy and then we opened presents and had cake and ice cream.  It turned out great and Paige had so many loved ones there and got some great gifts.  Here are some pictures of everything I did to decorate and then some of the party!

 Now for the actual party!  Let the fun begin! Paige was a little overwhelmed with everyone so we went outside to play in her wagon and that really opened her up some!  I still can not believe that my baby girl is a year old!  Where did this  year go?

Doesn't everyone open presents in their wagon?

Why is everyone singing and smiling at me?

I will try a little...I am not in the mood!

I am over this cake smashing...where are my new toys?
