Brylee's 1st Birthday Party

Last Saturday we celebrated Brylee's first birthday with a Fall Festival themed party at our house. Our family and close friends who have been a part of Brylee's life came to celebrate this special girl. As silly as it sounds, this was probably the biggest party I've thrown all by myself, and we had a very good time.

Our birthday girl was celebrating out front before her guests arrived


We celebrated with cupcakes and cake balls



 Although good, the home-made hot apple cider would have been even better had it not been over 75 degrees outside. It was a "Texas Style" Fall Festival

We made caramel apples as party favors

Brylee's pumpkin smash cake

These were just the beginning of her many gifts

There were only a few party guests who were the right age to enjoy our Pumpkin Painting table outside

Brylee and one of her boyfriends, Tyler, giving each other "Hi-Fives"


Brylee's friend, Maddie, helped us open some of her gifts

Brylee wasn't as interested in the tissue or wrapping paper as I had expected, and was not all that interested in opening her gifts, either

But we came across this puzzle, which caught her attention for the rest of the gift opening

She did find time to check out her new car

And push around her new walking toy


Celebrating our Birthday Girl!

Brylee enjoyed the singing of "Happy Birthday," and took just a little coaxing to dig into her very first cake

But after a minute or two....


She realized she LOVED IT!


 We had a great celebration of Brylee's First Year!
Thank you to all of our family and friends who came to make this girl (and her momma) feel special!

  3. Brylee is so cute and his birthday party is amazing nevertheless. My cousin is looking for one of the impressive event space Chicago for his emporium promotions. Will invite all clients and supreme guests. Still searching for exotic menu and drinks. Hope all his plans are well executed.
