Quinn's 1st Birthday Party

Since Quinn's birthday fell so closely to Easter this year, we held a small, family birthday party at the house the day before Easter.  The weather was perfect and it was so nice to have her surrounded by her family to celebrate her big day.

Party girl ready to celebrate!

Flowers.

I knew I wanted to doll her highchair up in some manner so when I saw the idea of a tutu for her highchair I knew I was going to try and tackle it.  I went through a TON of tulle but I think the result was really cute and she looked like a princess smashing her cake :)

The spread.

Drinks.

Favor bags for the girls.

Desserts.

Quinn's pretty smash cake.

Pictures of my babies.  I included this picture because of the gorilla hiding behind the flowers.  As I was moving things around and decorating Nolan added his own decoration and insisted that his ceramic gorilla that he painted was the perfect touch.

12 months of pictures.

Birthday lunch.

Not sure how many juice boxes were consumed by Nolan and his cousins but I know it was too many!

Dad and Darby.

Aunt Heidi, Leila, Aunt Debbie and Mike.

Naomi, Quinn and Nora.

Let's smash some cake!!

Nolan was dying to get in there to "help!"

Feeding Quinn.

The crowd.

She did a great job but knew when she was at her stopping point!

Always reads her cards first.

Checking out her new big girl step stool.

Aunt Darby got the kids their own little chairs for outdoor events.  Perfect idea!

This picture is too funny.  Quinn was laughing about something but check Nolan out in the background.  One of his cousins is taking his picture while he makes one of his usually silly faces.

It was a great day, a great party, and the perfect way to celebrate our baby girl's first year of life!!
