Risa's Birthday Party!

I didn't want to do a birthday party for Risa this year, I kept thinking about how much work it would be and how I didn't want to do it.  But then I thought I need to, she will only turn 1 once!  So it all started with the invitation.

Thanks to her dad, here is the cute invitation that he created for her.

And then I thought that we should do everything pink and simple and that's exactly what we did. From decorations to food it all had to have some pink in it.  And thanks to a friend who is crafty and has a cricket, and these two ladies...

 we were able to make some cute things for her.

Aunt Kelsey made the flower balloons 

some pink circles hanging from the ceiling. I couldn't get a good picture of anything, awkward room.

The "Happy Birthday" sign and dessert section

Finally it was time to have dessert with friends and family to celebrate Risa's birthday!

Singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out the candle

You might be thinking this cake is green, not pink and if you are thinking that, you are correct!  We had a "disappointing"  dessert at the last minute and my sisters were so kind and went and bought a cake that Jaxon so kindly dropped on the floor right before people started to arrive.  Note to self, try the desserts before you are about to have a party if you have never had them before and keep two year old's away from  it!

I am pretty sure that Risa had a great time at her party, she can't talk yet, but I know that she thanks me for it!

Last but not least Risa opening her favorite gift...

MONEY!!!!  

And if you have been wondering what Jaxon has been up to, here it is...

Pretending that he is Superman in a costume that is two sizes too small on him.  He spent three days wearing this everywhere, a lady at Walmart recognized him because of the costume.  And lets not forget

Spiderman:) Gotta love kids and their costumes!
