For her party, we decorated our garage and set up tables. It was really pretty weather outside, and it worked perfectly because Pinkberry, Andie's favorite frozen yogurt, catered the dessert. We did sliders, chicken, sandwiches, and a variety of appetizers for food. I didn't cook a single thing myself - but it was simple and worked well.
I had a time capsule set up for Andie. Our friends and family wrote a card to her, and I will give them to her to open on her 21st Birthday. I also had everyone sign a canvas that I had put her footprints on so she could remember who was at her first birthday.
I ordered her personalized "Andie" onsie from Leah at Simply Made with Love, and her birthday bib and hat from Dainty Couture on Etsy. All of the decorations were found online at a discount party store, and the balloons were from Party City. The flowers were from Costco, and the banners my friend Lynsey helped me make. I really enjoyed planning and decorating. We ordered her first birthday invites from Tiny Prints (they have the cutest selection of invites)!
Thank you so much to my neighbor, Carol, who took all of these pictures. I was so bad and didn't take a single one! I am also waiting for more to come from a friend of ours who took several of Andie with different family members.
The Birthday Girl with her cousins!!
It was such a fun day. We love our little one year old! She is so blessed to have so many special family and friends in her life.
