Chatham's 1st Birthday Party

If you've been following B & B (Babywise & Beyond) for a while now, you'll know that I always refer to Chatham as our sweetest surprise. It took what seemed like forever to get pregnant with the twins, and when they were just about 8 weeks old, and about 1 weeks home from the NICU, I got pregnant with Chatham. As shocking as it was, we were just so elated to have gotten pregnant with no fertility treatments, no ovulation calculating, not even a thought about getting pregnant. Once the shock subsided, we couldn't imagine our lives without a new baby in it. And from the moment my sweetest surprise was born, our family just felt so complete.

So when thinking of a theme for her 1st Birthday party, I of course, wanted to do something sweet and a Pink Lemonade Stand seemed perfect!

Our cute little invite from Etsy

My simple DIY 36' balloon & tissue tassel

Partially finished dessert table... had to snap some pictures before guests arrived - blueberries & grapes went in the tiny yellow cups, rice krispies dipped in pink chocolate on a stick went on the white plate, & I had one more plate of watermelon & pineapple kabobs

 

Loved this Pinterest idea with scrapbook paper , toothpicks, & lemons

My mom's famous chocolate covered pretzels

The drink bar (before all the alcohol was added ;)

Simple seating arrangement- next time I'm going with round tables!

Super easy centerpieces- lemons slices & pink hydrangeas from Wegmans

My cutie patootie loving her cake

She wasn't too happy I took the cake away!

Ahhh how is she 1 already?! Anyways- hope you enjoy the photos from her party- feel free to snag any ideas- just as I did from Pinterest!!

The countdown is back on again as the twins turn 2 (!!!) in less than 2 weeks! We have 2 special Sesame Street visitors coming to our house for their birthday dinner!
