52 Weeks

i can't believe it!! 52 WEEKS! 

my baby will be one tomorrow. 

i didn't post here 50 and 51 week pictures. so here they are. 

and now her last weekly picture! 

Morgan's First Birthday Party

warning: picture over load today!!! 

you've been warned. :)

morgan's party has come and gone and here we are the day 

before my baby turns ONE! the party was exactly as i had hoped. we had all 

our friends to help celebrate and we had a blast!! 

party morning!!! she knew it was her day.  

okay, so lets start with the house all decorated. 

i'm so thankful my parents let me completely take over their home 

for the party. with 50 adults and 15 kids there is physically no way this 

would have happened in my home. so thank you mimi and poppi!! 

there really wasn't a 'theme' to the party, it was more just pink and gold with 

pictures of morgan everywhere. i really just wanted everyone to see how much

she has changed over the last year and i personally loved just seeing her face all over the house. 

i really love how her birthday chalkboard turned out printed. this is going

in her play room and would love to do this again for next year. 

more birthday chalkboard info here

i bought the dr. seuss happy birthday to you book to have everyone sign. 

it came out so cute and was really fun reading all the sweet things everyone wrote to morgan. 

i don't really print pictures unless i am framing them. i make photo books, so i

had all of morgan's out for the party. i had her newborn, 6 month, 9 month, fall pictures and our instabooks {instagram pictures}. they are all made from blurb. i absolutely love them. 

candy land! all the pictures that are hanging as a banner are from instagram 

that i had printed at walgreens. they came out really good. 

we had a kids table with some fun little things to keep them busy. 

my mother-in-law got a really old wooden high chair and

my dad completely fixed it up for the party and it came out so adorable!!!

i'm so mad i forgot to take a before picture! 

someones ready for her guest to arrive! 

morgan's outfit: headband | shirt | skirt | shoes 

i don't think she knew what to think of everyone singing to her. 

when i wasn't paying attention my hubby got me with some cake

so of course i had to get him back! :)

this girl loves, loves, loves icing. who doesn't? 

i tried for 2 days to get morgan's picture next to her birthday chalkboard

but its impossible to get her to sit still she is always on the move. 

since we didn't get a picture of her whole high chair with the balloon i decided what the heck

lets give her a cupcake and take more pictures :)

if you made it here to the end, thank you for sticking through this 

very super long post!! 

coming up next: the last 3 weeks of her weekly pictures that i totally for to post!
