Tempe's First Bday (3 months late LOL)

Well, it has been three months since Tempe's birthday party and I am just now posting!! LOL!!!  I wasn't able to as much as I would have liked because I was VERY sick the day of and leading up to.  However it was her first birthday and I will forever love it!!

This was just a small get together of Grandparents on her birthday.  We took her to Build A Bear for the first time then to Chuck E Cheese.  This will be our tradition for her Birthday from here on out!

Then on the weekend we had her Whoo's Turning 1 Party.  Most things were "Tempe" centered with a few owl accents here and there.  Here was the custom invites I made.

Each table was a different event in Tempe's first year.  They had a picture and mementos from that event.  There were also candy Kisses at each place setting.  I had a very cute saying to put with them but these were last minute and I just didn't feel up to fixing them.  ( I was in bed for a week sick after this!!)



Bath Table (had a great 8mo pic I took of her)



I also did a signature plate that will be a special plate that Tempe will eat her cake off each year.  Everyone signed the plate and I have it put up for her.  On the table with this I had her coming home outfit and blanket from the hospital.

We also had her one year picture for everyone to see and wallet size ones for them to take home.

Her cake was a gift from my best friend who's mom makes yummy and beautiful cakes as a hobby.

Tempe really enjoyed her owl cake too!!

The older kids got to do an owl craft.

And the adults got to play "Tempe Trivia"!!  They had to guess how old Tempe was when these things took place in her first year.

This is just the highlights from her Birthday!  I learn two things throwing my first party for Tempe... to have it later in the afternoon (this one was at noon) so that I can decorate and tie up loose ends, and not everything is going to be perfect.  You will miss certain pictures, somethings will not get said (her Tempe Trivia answers), and somethings you will just not have time for.  But as long as the birthday girl/boy has fun that is all that matters!!!


I have already started planning her second party!  I am so excited about it too. I am hoping that it will be even more memorable for her.
