Summer Birthday Fever

A week into the summer and it's already August-level hot here in San Antonio. Good thing we had the fortitude to book the little one's first birthday party indoors. There's no way that we could handle it out in the sun in the middle of July. The party room has an under the sea theme so I've been busy going to stores online and otherwise to scrounge for under the sea stuff.

After searching high and low for a birthday outfit, I finally found one at Nordstrom. It's a pink petticoat dress from Popatu. So cute! It looks fancy enough with its ruffles and sparkles. Perfect for the birthday girl. I can't wait until she wears it. I'm still looking for pink ballet shoes or satin sandals.

We already had her birthday banner, garlands and party hats printed at the Office Depot. It's cheaper than buying ink and printing them ourselves. Good thing there's Pinterest 'coz that's where I found the free printables. My ever creative mother-in-law is making the table topper or center piece. She says she's going to use socks to make fishes so I'm excited to see the final product.

We already ordered the cake/cupcakes, but still have to decide on the food. We'll probably end up with hotdogs, sandwiches and pasta salad. We'll see. I'm just glad that we don't have to rush anymore since we pretty much have everything covered.

So thankful to God for blessing us with a beautiful sweet little baby. She is silly and funny and smart and so well behaved. I may be busy doing all sorts of stuff for her first birthday, but in my heart I'm a little bit sad and totally not ready yet. She's growing up too fast, my jelly bean.
