A Very Red First Birthday Party


So we decided that the theme of her first birthday party would be the color red. That decision was based on this dress. We think it is utterly adorable!

Her ladybug cake. I made it myself with help from Kevin and I think it turned out pretty darn cute.
All the red food. It was delicious. I especially enjoyed the strawberry-raspberry-white chocolate trifle. Kevin even let me buy a trifle dish for the occasion.

The very red invitation.

Maddy eating her cake. She did not get as messy as I wanted her too so I kind of shoved it into her face.


The guests



Maddy got some amazing presents and they have been keeping her occupied for the past week. She has been a very sweet one year old so far. Thanks to everyone who came and made her birthday special!


The morning of the party- aren't they so sweet together!

ah! she is a year!! crazy!! Looks like she had a sweet birthday. give her a happy birthday hug for me! by the way- the canvas in the babys room I did do. I printed out the font from the computer, cut it out, taped it to the canvas, then painted the outside, took the letter off and painted the inside. it took quite a few coats to make it look decent...it was my general conference project :) pretty cake by the way
