School Years

Since Emma started preschool I have taken her picture the first day school. I cannot believe this is the third year I have taken the picture (preschool, kinder, and 1st grade). My girl is growing up so fast.

Emma's Under The Sea Party!

Ella's 1st Birthday Party!

We had Ella's 1st birthday party the weekend before her actual birthday. I decided on a zebra and pink theme. It is cute and I will not be able to pick her themes when she is older. Creg said I went all out for her party, but you only turn 1 once and birthdays are special so why not!!! I made most of her decorations and enjoyed making them. Here are photos:

The banner I made by placing a picture from birth to 1 on each pennant. The "ONE" letters are mod podged with scrapbook paper and a tulle bow. The picture frame is a printable birthday subway art.

I made this collage of the different firsts she did. Such as first photo, car ride, smile, and so on.

I made her birthday hat from a tutorial I found. It is made out of a Cheerio box, fabric, ribbon and and card stock hand cut number.

I also made the highchair skirt out of tulle and ribbon.

Center pieces were made from a box I found at Target for a $1, tissue paper, a lollipop stick and hand cut circle and number.

My little helper!

She loves baby dolls!

Cake time!!
