The cutest pink and white 1st birthday party ever!

Yes I really did use that title for my post. 

Wait until you see the pink explosion that happened last Friday night at Miss B.'s first birthday party.  While I do realize it is slightly obnoxious and a little overboard, I just can't help myself right now.  I'm in love with this cute baby girl and all the PINKNESS that goes with her!  About a month ago when I realized that my Little Spunky would soon be turning one, I decided that I needed a PINK themed party just for her.  I had know idea what a PINK party looked liked other then you obviously decorate with PINK .  As I started looking online, I couldn't believe all the possibilities. Lucky for me, my Mom owns a Cricuit and was happy to let me borrow it.  Can I just say, "Awwwwwesome!" The possibilities are endless on those machines and my Brian was going WILD thinking of all the cuteness I could make for the PINK party.  (By the way, I have know idea why I keep capitalizing the word PINK in this post other then I'm super excited about my new favorite color!)  The party was for family only which is unusual for me.  Since it is still 109 degrees outside, I needed a small crowd that could fit inside my house.  The party was great and Miss B. was waaaaay cute in her birthday outfit.  So sit back and relax cause there are gonna be a lot of pictures coming up (remember, this blog is my family journal). Let's get started!

Although we rarely let Miss B. eat candy, I wanted a candy bar with PINK only candy.  If you ever need to order candy, try a company called Oh Nuts! You can actually order candy by color.  They have all variety's and kinds, I highly recommend them! Do know that they will not ship chocolate to Arizona because of the heat!  How do you like the 3 foot balloons on either side of the candy bar?  They were so big and cute.  I ordered them also from a company and had the helium put in them at the party store down the street.  It took Jeremy 2 trips cause they were so big and only 2 could fit in his truck!! Looove them!!

Some of the candy I had included Watermelon Twists, Circus Animal crackers (you know, the hot pink and white frosted ones!), Rock Candy, Strawberry Whoppers, Bubble Gum Candy Sticks, Grapefruit Sours, Strawberry Salt Water Taffy, Yogurt Pretzels, and Pink Extra Bubble Gum. This was the party favor that the guests got to take home after the party.  A huge thanks to Miss Tauna for using her awesome handwriting to write on the labels.

Here is the birthday girl eating a handmade lollipop from the candy bar.

Cyndi makes the best cupcakes in the world.  Sometimes I wonder just what it is she puts in them, but I totally trust that it's legal!  They looked even cuter with cupcake toppers that had the number 1 and letter B on them.  Oh they were just CUTE!!

Who doesn't love a cupcake centerpiece?  Ooooh Laaaa Laaaa!! I'm in love!

Every birthday girl needs a tutu covered highchair at her first party right? How do you like the banner that reads Miss B?  I mostly like that cute boy with the goofy smile standing next to the highchair.  Poor kid is trying so hard to get that smile thing down.  

Another banner I made.  This one says Berkley.  How about those pink and white polka dot balloons?  I ordered those from the same company as they 3 foot balloons.  Ohhh they make me happy!!

A view from my family room to the kitchen.  On the menu:  Mattas of course.  Who doesn't like beef taquitos, burritos, Louies, Chips, Salsa, beans and rice?  I did make an awesome relish tray and fruit platter.  Can you say Yummmm?  Of course every PINK party needs Cyndi's PINK lemonade.  My boys are so addicted to this stuff.  One taste and you'll know why!

Not having a dining room table has it's perks.  For one, I can seat about 14 people at the rectangle tables in this room.  Second, I can decorate it with PINK madness from floor to ceiling.  I had so much fun learning how to make PINK pom poms of all sizes to hang from the ceiling in this room. Just check out Martha Stewarts site for more info.  I also loooove the Happy Birthday banner made on the Cricuit. 

So here she is...Miss Birthday girl. I know what you're thinking. Where did the cotton candy machine blow up, and why was my baby standing so close to it! Could you just eat her up in this outfit?  I wish I could say I made this PINK cuteness, but I didn't.  I ordered it from a super talented lady who has an ETSY shop.  (Sorry I can't think of her name right now.)   A big thanks to our neighbor Priscilla for stopping by to play after school and getting stuck babysitting while I finished setting up. Yummy Yummy Yummy!!
Auntie Nicole (who is due with Baby Boy Wood in October) and Presley.
Look at these cute girls.  Mallorie lives across the street from us and Tayler babysits for us.  Miss B. looooves these girls!  They are so cute with her!
Are these the best looking great grandparents ever?

Katlyn, Ledger and Paisley had fun playing in the heat!

Cake time! Is this not the cutest cupcake cake you've ever seen?  LOVE IT!!  Miss B. was all smiles when we all started singing to her.  She smiled at all of us and even laughed, it was cute.  

After we sang, she stuck her little hands right in the cake, licked her fingers and that was it.  I was really surprised she didn't just crush that cake into pieces.  She was very sweet and polite about it!
Sugar, Miss B. and G-Pa

The best present of the night was a baby stroller that Sugar gave her.  She pushed that thing all over the house.  Some of the other gifts included, adorable GIRL clothes, an apron made by Sugar with Miss B.'s name embroidered on it, a baby set that included a doll, highchair, crib and stroller, money from GG and G-Pa, books, shoes, a piggy bank and an adorable cupcake bracelet.

Ava had fun pushing the birthday girl around in the baby stroller. It was hilarious! 

 You made it though all the details of my PINK party.  It was so fun and I loved every minute of getting ready for it! The end!
