So Maeve is 1! We had her party at our house with just some family and close friends. We were leaving the next day early for vacation so didn't want to go crazy and plus she's only 1 so I doubt she'll remember this when she's older. It was a fun night for us to have everyone over though and hang out. The smartest idea I had was to ask my friend Mandi to come over and capture the day for us. She is an amazing photographer and it was one less thing I had to do so I could just take every moment in and not have to worry. I'm booking her for the next 17 years if she's available!
The theme was "Sweet Shoppe". I saw the idea on a blog and loved the rainbow theme. Maeve isn't really partial to any thing yet and I'm not a pink/purple girly girl so thought this was appropriate and fun! The sweet shoppe was intended for gift bags for all of our guests and I was pretty happy with how easy it was to pull together.
At the beginning of the party, I'm not sure she knew what was going on... lots of people and excitement and lots of attention!
It didn't take long after some of her friends arrived that she was warming up. Here she is with Will. Hard to believe they are 9 months apart. No worries as Will is likely to be at least a foot taller than her someday!
Lily & Ellie - such beautiful older cousins!
Loving her car!
Tyler is here!
It's cupcake time!
Ok this feels funny, but doesn't taste too bad!
I'll check with Dad to see if he likes it first!
Yep, sugar rocks! More please!

Our sweet girl! Thank you to all of our friends and family who answered our questions, listened to us gush, and helped us survive the past 12 months. It's been an amazing year and we are so blessed!
