Lilly turned 1! I can't believe it's been a year since we were blessed with her and I had the single longest week of my life. Her entire birthday week, I kept remembering back and thinking how much we've been through this year. It's been crazy. Since I'm home and "have more time", I decided to do lots of crafty things for her birthday. It went pretty well!
Lilly's cake! I baked every bit of this from scratch. The bottom layer is chocolate with buttercream icing and buttercream fondant, the middle layer is white with buttercream icing and buttercream fondant, and the ladybug which was Lilly's smash cake was butter cake with buttercream icing and buttercream fondant. It was all quite fabulous! The smash cake being covered in fondant was cute, but it wasn't that messy for smashing. : /
I made two giant hairbows for little miss thang's hair.
I painted a onesie for her. I put the polka dot 1 on the font, her name on the back in red with black outline and a ladybug on her tushy.
And I made her a big double layer tutu with a big ladybug bow on the front.
Smashing the ladybug!
I forgot I made her a hat to wear during the cake smashing so we threw it on her for some pics when we remembered.
The ladybug party was a success! Everyone had a good time, the food was good, the cake was good, Lilly did a great job especially since she got woken up from her morning nap by thunder. My big kids did a good job not crowding her and the other kids we invited didn't try to open her presents for her! It was so great being surrounded by people we love and for me to be able to show off some of my craftiness! I was pretty proud of how things turned out.
