Sutton's First Birthday

I still cannot believe that my baby is one.
It's unbelievable how fast this year flew by
but I'm so thankful for it and I look forward to seeing her grow as a toddler.
I love celebrating ours kids as they grow
and while the parties are necessarily pinterest worthy, I do enjoy putting them together.
They are simple and fun!
I am sure my kids feel loved and really that's all that matters!
Here are a ton of photos from Sutton's party.

I made two cakes this time, which I never do, 

but I thought it'd be fun for her to have her own smash cake!

Funny thing about the cake though...

I had wine when I was trying to make the frosting and totally messed up

because I apparently had too much! 

So around midnight I was making the second batch again! 

Super thankful I had enough ingredients 

and didn't have to send my husband a second time. 

This sign was really the only decoration I did and I love how it turned out! 

I had seen the flowers at Target a few months ago and knew I wanted to use them. 

I also saw the banner when I picked them up and knew they'd go perfectly together. 

I'm thinking I may frame this and put it in her room, which means I also 

need to do the same with Mae's monthly pictures since they share a room! 

Love my girl! She's so happy and a total mama's girl! 

She got so many gifts. Lots of toys and clothes. 

She, of course, loved the wrapping paper and hangers a lot! 

I just love them and totally should have said B and M is this photo with us,

but that, more than likely, would have been a disaster! 

She was totally grinning with people started singing. 

It was the cutest thing ever and I'm so thankful for her happiness!

I would say the smash cake was a hit! 

Decided maybe the chair was a better idea after she 

went to touch everything with her chocolate hands!

Ice cream a little cold there baby?

All the kids were excited about the cake and ice cream too. 

Any time I would tell Braden we were going to have a party for Sutton, 

he'd say "She's gonna have birthday cake! And I have some too?" 

Yes dude, we can eat all the cake and we pretty much did ALL DAY LONG. 

From the looks of it, I'd say Sutton had a pretty good first birthday! 

How do you celebrate your kiddos birthdays? 

Do you do it simple or go all out? 

I just love making them feel special!
