Ainslee's First Birthday Party

Ainslee's first birthday party was awesome. The theme, the size, the weather...I loved it all. We decided to do a small intimate party and just invited family for her first. 

Her party theme was strawberries. We had strawberry cake, cupcakes, cookies, and candies. 

Ainslee's Meemaw made me the tea towels several years ago. I loved using them for the decorations.

I just want to say I love my niece. She owns her own sign-making business in Atoka. I told her very close to the last minute that I wanted a chalkboard looking birthday sign and asked if she had time to do it (family is the worst...I'm so sorry Deana!). Anyhow, Kerry designed exactly what I wanted and Deana gladly said she would get it printed for me and this is how it turned out.

Amazing right?! Deana is awesome. Her business is DK Designs in Atoka...she has great prices and ships everywhere. 

I asked Ainslee's Mimi if she would make a strawberry dress for Ainslee's party. Isn't it adorable? 

We kind of forgot to take pictures of our party guests, but we did get this picture of cousin Ruger and big brother Deacon chowing down. Their big sisters provided the face paint.

Ainslee did have a good time opening her presents. Who doesn't love ripping up wrapping paper?

I love my little family so much; we are so not photogenic, but I love it. This is us, face paint and all.

Deacon's hand placement is always so unfortunate.

My favorite part of any first birthday is the baby eating their cake. Ainslee loved cake. I had to take it away a little while, I think she would've eaten the entire thing!

You can't worry about looking all attractive-like when you are shoveling cake in your mouth.

This girl

She was absolutely willing to share.

Is she as ornery as she looks? Yes...the answer is yes.

Ainslee just up and started walking the day before her party. Here she was showing off her new skills.

She was a little over taking pictures at this point, but it's another great picture of her cute strawberry dress.

...and another.

Thanks to all of our family that made the drive to Cookson for Ainslee's big day, and for all the presents!
