Well what can I say the fastest year of my life just went in a flash. My baby girl is one, and this year we learned a lot about having a little girl and how to have a birthday party. Who knew it was so complicated.
Lessons learned:
1. Parks are a popular party place in Folsom- arrive EARLY
I failed at arriving at 5:30 AM or reserving the park for $250 dollars
therefore we had no place to have a party- felt like a failure
2. NO RED FROSTING- it stained our skin, teeth and clothes
Lady bug theme super cute right. Ladybug Cupcakes above adorable right.
The cupcakes were a mess ... I am still working on the stains in her swim suit. Someone at the grocery store after thought I had a skin disorder.
3. Wind and table paper covers don't work
It was a waste of time, and money to get these at the dollar tree
4. In the end everything comes together PERFECTLY!
Everyone made it to the new park... with only minor complaints. Water park was way better than the one we planned the party at, and Music Mike was at one of the other parties. 3 of us shared the area. One of the people had him at their party how cool is that. If you're not familiar with Music Mike he's the long haired guy in the pic with Adeline holding the morocco. She did not want to give it back to him. It was a happy day.

We will never forget those red cupcakes! That picture of Addie with the stained red face is priceless! We are so happy that Addie is a part of our family she is such a cute little girl and we love her very much.
Addie,
Thanks for inviting me to your special party! You are my Ladybug. I love you!

I LOVE the ladybug idea even if the red frosting was a disaster! So cute and Addie just gets more and more adorable.
That is definately one of the cutest blogs I've read in a long time from anyone! I'll have to remember that for next year when I plan our girl's first party: No red frosting, go with the flow, make sure you don't have to reserve a park...excellent advice!
Happy belated birthday Addie! You're a doll and we had fun seeing you over the summer!
