WEEK SEVEN
For me: Life is About... using your imagination

My girls get their super girly-ness honestly!! From ME! I love all girly things. Pink. Flowers. Butterflies.And, of course, dressing up!! Below is a shot of my daughter, Ava, from the fun time we had dressing up in loads of frilly tutus, flower headbands, necklaces, and more!

**********************************************************************************It's Part-Y time!

Here are my favorite photos....

My favorite photos for this week come from my daughter, Audrey's, first birthday party on Saturday. Her big sister, Ava, was having such a fun time blowing the bubbles provided at the party, even though daddy kept blowing in her face! 

Isn't she just too sweet. I love it!

Now it's your turn to share your favorite photo(s) of the week! 

And THANK YOU in advance for participating :)

Audrey's 1st Birthday Party! {featuring Baby Minnie Mouse}

Audrey Claire's FIRST birthday party was a huge success!! Although it started snowing the day of the party, it wasn't enough to keep everyone invited from coming! They were sure to not miss out on her very special day! 

This party was oh so very girly with loads of pink and red, hearts galore, and Miss Baby Minnie Mouse as our special guest! Check out all the fun party decorations 

{that mommy spent months before the party designing and creating especially for this day}!!

 I made the Minnie Mouse cupcake sticks using my personal Cricut cutting crafter. 

The Minnie Mouse shaped cookies were made using both large and small sized oreos with a little icing for the bow. 

 My Cricut also deserves all the credit for crafting this gorgeous birthday banner I made for Audrey's "1st" party!

Lots of super fun party favors {bubbles, heart suckers, and flower lollipops} for the kids gave her party that sweet little extra touch! Each child left with a balloon of their very own too :)

I wasn't too thrilled with the "1" candle I purchased at the store for Audrey's party. 

So with a little glam pink jewel sticker application.... the candle was a perfect topper for Audrey's cupcake.

My husband and I must have taken well over 200 photos at the party!! If you know me, you know it's what I love to do! I'll just show you a "few" of what we captured. You'll soon see that this was a very sweet first birthday party to remember!

I'd say her party was quite a success! Wouldn't you?!!

Oh, and I can't forget to show you the party invitation that I also had the pleasure of designing for her special day! 

I'd like to thank my wonderful family for helping make this day a very special and memorable occasion! 

You all are so very loved!
