Audrey's 1st birthday party

Today we celebrated Audrey and her first year of life (even though her actual birthday isn't until Tuesday.) We had a sweet and simple brunch with family and a few of our friends. I tend to invite everyone we know to things and even though I love ALL of our friends very much, I wanted to keep this party intimate and small.

THE DECORATIONS

A friend of mine from high school made this banner and Audrey's party dress and fabric bow. Pink, gray and pearl white balloons from our local party store, a beautiful cake made by my neighbor, Christmas trees and a few things from Audrey's nursery made up the cake table.

I made this little trees with pink yarn and pom poms. I don't love them, but I ran out of time and they just had to do.

Owen and I made this banner with pictures I had taken of Audrey over the past year, scrapbook paper, snowflake gift tags and hemp twine. It will bittersweet to take the final 12 month picture on Tuesday.
