Our Party Girl!
See her special shirt?
I've used Frances' designs (Things Very Special) a few times now for gifts or shirts for the kids. |
We celebrated Riley's first birthday last weekend with a musical theme because she loves music! Riley joined a music class at seven months old and really started to appreciate dancing, singing, and playing instruments so it made sense to choose this as a theme.

| Riley's smash cake -- too pretty to smash but she did! |
Riley enjoyed every minute of her party and especially her delicious cake made by Auntie Angela (North County Cupcakes). I had asked her to make a smash cake that replicated a toy xylophone and she impressed us all! Darling! The rainbow cupcakes she made were yummy as well as adorable! We had a taco cart for guests so everyone left full of Musical Mexican goodness...and we had leftovers for days. Ha! Riley's favorite gift was from Gram and Grandpa--a pink wagon for her dolls. She likes riding in it so I had Jackson pull her in it to her cake. She also LOVED all the clothes she received. We opened gifts over the next three days and she kept walking around with her new clothes. My girly girl!

| Party favors included personalized microphones, Riley's favorite songs on a CD, musical instruments, stickers, and music note crayons from Red Elm Designs. |

I had guests sign a scrapbook page that I added to her first year scrapbook
which was pre-made for us by my dear friend Marilyn. |

But it was cute and matched the theme! |

| Blow! Blow! Blow! What? You would rather stare at Mama's goofy face? |
 |
Jackson ended up blowing her candle out although we had been practicing blowing,
there was just too much pressure. Ha! |
...and now that Riley is one, we can only expect lots more fun as we enter the world of Toddlerhood! Looking forward to another super fast year with my two February babies. xoxo
