I'm so excited to share photos from Lila's first birthday party!
We decided to do a storybook birthday because Lila loves to read and play with books. I got the invitations on Etsy from Toasted e Design. The first section had the invitation; the second section was a coloring page requesting that each kid come dressed as their favorite storybook character, and the third section was a book plate.

I attempted to do all the food based on different books that Lila likes, but with the new additions to our family, the cupcakes were really the only things that made it that far. We had The Snowy Day vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting and white sprinkles. Next was Fancy Nancy funfetti cupcakes with pink vanilla icing and pink crystal sprinkles. Last was If You Give A Mouse A Cookie chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing and half of a chocolate chip cookie. Because of our demographic, the pink cupcakes were by far the most popular.
I did manage to throw in some themed food...
like these strawberries for The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear.
Lila was a little cranky at the beginning of her party. In my family we say "The Berenstein Bears and Too Much Birthday."
She quickly perked up, though, once all of her friends arrived.
Lila was dressed as Olivia the pig. We also had Thing One and Thing Two...
A few Fancy Nancys...
And (almost) all of Lila's aunties came in town just for Lila's birthday and dressed as characters from James and the Giant Peach.
I tried to keep things short and sweet. We had a box fort for the kids the play in and color on along with Meriahna and Sydney's hand-me-down slide. Then Johnny read Olivia to all the little girls...and Hayes (a very brave boy).
After reading the book, we got to have cake.
These little girls were pretty good at demolishing cupcakes.
Johnny and I had the easy way out of dressing in black and white like Olivia's parents.
We are so thankful to have such a healthy, fun little girl in our family.
Happy Birthday Lila!
