Julianne's Sweetheart 1st Birthday!

We brought our Sweet Julianne home on Valentine's Day last year.  It felt so special to get to bring home our daughter on the day that celebrates love.  Valentine's Day now means something different to me.  In honor of that special day, we decided to celebrate Julianne's 1st Birthday with a Sweetheart Party.  She is so.very.sweet and it is perfectly fitting for her!

We got to celebrate among several of our friends and family.  Both sets of Julianne's Grandparents made the long trip to Knoxville to celebrate with us!  The pictures show much of our day.  Although, somehow the grandparents avoid all pictures except for one I got of my mom with Julianne!

Dessert Table
Cupcakes, Strawberry Shortcake, Banana pudding cups

Thanks for another awesome cake, Aunt Libby!




This rose bush will be planted outside for Julianne.  It was from Kurt and I. 

I will always have banana pudding cups at my children's 1st birthday parties! <3 

Food!
BBQ meatballs, chicken salad w/ croissants, taco dip, veggie tray, cheese and crackers

Valentine Station and Bubblegum Favors




Kurt was taking a long time to dress Julianne.  I went up to find out she had pooped her whole outfit and he had to put her in the bath.  She was finally dressed but not thrilled about it. 

Our girl!

Oliver's Drive-In Themed 3rd Birthday Party

Oliver's Drive-In party was today.  He chose four friends to come celebrate with us.  We had a great time!!  We had lots of drive-in style treats and the movie of choice was Planes.  Oliver wore his "Sly as a fox" shirt to coordinate with his awesome fox cake that Aunt Libby made.  We LOVED it!  Of course we also had a "What Does the Fox Say?" dance party (down in our recently tidied basement!!).  







THANKS, Aunt Libby!!!!


Their "cars"


Ta-da!

I don't want to know how many cookies, lollipops, cupcakes, cake, chocolate, etc Oliver had today...


Too bright for a pic



This lasted about as long as their bags of candy...






Ollie didn't want his picture taken
Closest we have to a family pic! LOL!!
