Our one year old(S)!!

As I was looking at the pics we took of Amelia's one year birthday, I was reminded of something familiar.  And something else familiar.  I knew what it was!  We have almost identical pictures of my three little munchkins ... in almost the exact same pose (what is it with that left hand?) enjoying their first birthday smash cakes.  I knew instantly that I wanted to do a comparison collage.   And... here it is! 

As a side, when I put the three kid's pictures together, I always ponder how to order them.  Do I do it in birth order?  Book end the boys with the girl in the middle?  Decisions... Decisions...   :)  

Amelia Bee is One! (Bumble Bee Birthday Party)

I don't know where the last year has gone.  Somehow over that time, our baby girl has grown from newborn to practically a toddler.  You forgot how much babies change in that first year. It is remarkable.  I really wanted to make Amelia's first birthday special.   This is my last first birthday (I get a little misty eyed thinking bout it).  We decided on a bumble bee theme since we call her "Amelia Bee."

I really enjoyed putting together all of the decorations and coordinating Amelia's outfit, the cake and decor.  I might have enjoyed it too much!

I was really happy with how the cake turned out ... matched the theme perfectly and was delicious!

The fun of being one is that you get your own little smash cake to do what you wish.  And Amelia quite liked her cake... as you can see!

There wasn't much left when she was done... but Amelia was a happy little bee!

The party was a great success and we really enjoyed spending time with all of our friends and family to celebrate Amelia's first birthday!   I can't believe our baby girl is ONE!

Happy birthday, baby girl!
