Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ~ 1st Birthday Party

In celebration of my daughter's 1st year on this Earth, my husband and I threw her a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star party (most favorite song ever...)! Mirabelle made it through one year completely healthy and right on track developmentally (i.e., physical and mental milestones) - so our family is just super thankful and honestly over-joyed with every little moment in time that we share with this tiny lady, and truly love watching her progress and become more and more the person she will grow into :>

I'm going to keep the yapping brief and let the photos speak for themselves!

While we made most of the decor ourselves (i.e., stars, puffs, and pennants), some of the decor also came from my own childhood birthday parties! The glassware, serving bowls, and random decor came from a few places: our wedding decor (which we collected from various thrift stores), wedding gifts, old vases from my grandfather, mini-porcelin dolls from my husband's grandmother, and the gold dinosaurs were re-used from my babyshower (we had bought a bag of cheapo plastic dinos and painted them).

I made Mirabelle's mini-cake and also the 4 layer cake. The icing was made from scratch, as well as the carrot cake cream cheese cookie sandwiches. This helped keep costs down a lot! Though, admittedly, the cost was a bit more than I initially expected yet it all turned out beautifully so I can't complain!
