A Bloomin' Good Time!

What a fun weekend we had here at our house! I have wanted to post pictures, but we had family here, and I just haven't had any time. The party was a success, and Harper really had so much fun. I wasn't sure how she would respond to all of the people, but she loved it! We also had her baby dedication before her party, but that will be a separate post...maybe today but probably tomorrow. It was such a special time, so I don't want it to get lost in the party post! But here are some of our pictures from the big party weekend! Enjoy!

Indulging in her first Sprinkles cupcake!

She LOVED it!!!

Playing with Eliana...
Yes, they are in matching outfits, and no we didn't plan it.
Great minds think alike.

Harper loved all of the attention she got!

We just wanted to capture her dainty ankles...
She now crosses them every time she eats!

Aunt Kacy is AMAZING!!!
She made Harper this precious backpack!

And Harper loved wearing it!

The invitation for the birthday bash

The Happy Birthday Sign

The food table, minus the plate of burgers... they were being grilled

The cake table

Harper's cake... Eliana decided to try a little before the party
(You can see where we tried to fix it!)

The big cake... it was delicious!!!

Her monthly pictures were displayed on her cake table

Here's the second half

The party favors: Flower plates and silverware for the kids
(Thank you, Target $1 section!!!)

Homemade sugar cookies for the adults!
Despite the way the first one looked,
I thought they turned out pretty well!

Diving in!!!

Yay for cake!

No hands! This is how she kept eating it!

She loved her books!

She's checking out her new Vans!
They are hilarious!

We got her a Bitty Baby... she loves her!

She also got a baby stroller from the Gama and Pop-pop

Whew... she was worn out by the end of the day!
Enjoying her last bottle...forever!
Yes, we made the switch and she has done great!
No more bottles and no more formula!!!

Lauren, everything looks so cute! I am sad we could not be there to help Harper celebrate. I am glad you had a good time! I love the pics of her eating her cake. Cilla could have cared less about hers. Kind of disappointing!!! Way to go on the bottle transition. We are working on it...still! Come to find out we are allergic to milk! Bummer! No wonder the poor girl has had so many stomach problems her whole life. I keep trying to force dairy on her!
