Isabella turned one (a few months ago) and I can't believe how fast she is growing. She is no longer that baby that depended on us for everything,... it is a bitter sweet feeling because at the same time that I miss that little baby, I am proud of the (tiny) human being she is becoming.
We decided to have a small birthday party at our home just for the closest friends and family. I chose the theme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - it is one of her favourite songs.
After picking the theme, I went online to order the party supplies: plates, napkins, cups, some centerpieces and balloons.
I was able to find this adorable invitation online, I knew it would be perfect for the colour scheme we chose.
Checking Pinterest I saw some birthday boards, and I became obsessed with them,... It is such a great idea to register this milestone. I contacted a Canadian company (great customer service!) that designed it just the way I wanted, and the result is here:
I ordered it 20'x16'and it was the perfect size. I love it so much!!!!! See the contact for this company at the end of this post.
We ordered the cake from a traditional bakery. The shades of rose-pink matched the colour scheme of the party.
It was such a great time,... Isabella had so much fun from start to end. We would like to thank our friends for celebrating such an important day with us,... also a special thanks to Grandma Ivete, and her God-Parents Ivana and Izzet for helping us to prepare everything for this special moment. We love you guys!
Grandma came to help us and celebrate with our baby Bella! Such a great memory.
I just love this picture!!!!!
