The whole day was kind of haphazard because we threw two parties within hours of each other. But I wanted Hazel's party to feel special. I wanted her to see all the lights and know there was something big about this day. So I went crazy with stars. It's not perfect or "pinteresty" but I think it was perfect for her. And I could NOT have done any of it without the help of our families, and especially my mom who helped from the start.
For those of you who weren't here, I hope you enjoy these photos. And just so you know, the whole thing looked more magical in person. These photos were a rush job.
Buck's sister, Jade, made the cake and cupcakes!
We had a table with a photo of Hazel, some flowers, star suckers and a wonderful sign that my friend Adrian designed for us! Above that I hung pictures from the past year on a firefly light strand.
For the food we had berry yogurt parfaits since those are some of Hazel's favorite foods. (and I found these glass star bowls at the dollar store!)
Then we had star shaped panini sandwiches. (and a veggie tray, which I didn't feel was photo worthy)
And we made some chocolate stars.
Hazel loved the balloons.
And June couldn't be bothered with picture taking.
Her best friend Georgia was over, after all.

Hazel and her aunt Erin.
June ribbon dancing and entertaining Hazel.
Some Nana time!
Hazel was really into opening her gifts, it was super cute.
This is what we got for her. I want one for the whole family...
When it came time to have her eat her cake, she was very delicate about the whole process, eating mostly the crumbs that fell around it. So I smashed her hand into the frosting and that was it. She started bawling and wanted nothing to do with it after that point. haha oops!
It was a special birthday. We had good friends show up, including Carrie and her family from out of town. And then my family came into town from Boise and Buck's parents came too from North Carolina! And all this visiting and birthday wishing came at a high price- most of our family members got the stomach flu the next day or so! I feel awful about that. But little Hazel is worth it right? :) So thank you all for your love and support! And happy one year Hazel!

Yay! Yes, Anna it was magical and I'm sure Hazel felt the glowing love :)
And June is killing it in these pics. I love her celebrity pose next Georgia who is clearly trying to be a princess.
That is an amazing party! I bet Hazel felt so special..especially with all her family around! Miles' First birthday is on Easter this year so I'm still not sure how to make that work and still make it his special day....
It looks pretty pinterest-y to me!! Just beautiful; I'm sure she felt so loved!
We had a Star Wars party for Scott when he turned 8, and I hung a bunch of stars and planets and such from the ceiling and put blue and green light bulbs in the all the lights. It looked so cool! I was so proud of us for making it look so nice. And then a about a week after I took it all down, I realized we hadn't taken any pictures of it. I was so mad at myself! (This was before digital photos.)
