We celebrated Ella's first birthday on the last weekend of September with a "Our Little Pumpkin" theme.
I like to think that we kept things fairly simple, but then I look at these pictures and don't necessarily feel that way haha. They only turn one once though!
Her party went well except for the baked potatoes taking FOREVER to cook and us not being able to eat until way later than I thought we would.
We used the gold "1" balloon for her first birthday pictures a couple of days before the party, and it fit perfectly with the colors of her party.
Aunt Bekah made her cake.
It only took two batches of frosting to get the orange color right..
She was a big fan of the cake, but that really wasn't a surprise.
She LOVED getting all of the pink and girly toys that were just for her.
She really didn't have any girly toys until she was given them for her birthday.
While we had family pictures done we also had some pictures of Ella taken.
By the time we finished our family pictures it was getting close to Ella's bedtime.
She started to get grumpy, but Jenny worked her magic and still managed to capture perfect pictures of Ella.
I was afraid that she didn't get any good ones, but I'm obsessed with allllll of them.
While getting Ella all wiped off from the cake and changed, Hudson decided that it was his turn to get to dig into the cake.
It was the best.
