For those of you that have been reading my blog for a while, I think you would know that I love to throw parties. And I tend to go a little overboard with the details. But I really do enjoy the planning and decorating side of things, and we all need to go a little overboard every now and then right?! So I guess it will come as no surprise that I’ve decided to go all out for Charlotte’s first birthday party this weekend. From the cake, to the decorations, to the food….yep it’s all planned. 
And Mr BBB has certainly been rolling his eyes quite a bit lately as the piles of party goodies begin to appear! 
But balloons, cakes and candles aside, with C’s first birthday fast approaching, I can’t help but feel nostalgic and reflective. And grateful. And blessed. Blessed to be able to celebrate this wonderful occasion with our nearest and dearest. For two years ago I was going through what I can only describe as chaos – with 2 pregnancy losses and a barrage of fertility tests. Yet here we are, now, blessed with a beautiful almost-1-year old baby girl that lights up my life every single day. 
And that, my friends, is most certainly cause for a wonderful celebration indeed! So let’s get this party started!! (well, on Saturday, at least….) All to be revealed next week 
Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy celebrating your little (but big) blessing!
Hope you have a wonderful 1st birthday party!!!! I can't wait to see all the pictures and Miss. C's sweet little face.
what a great reason to celebrate!
Go all out, surely there is no such thing as overboard (unless it becomes stressful)! The decorations look beautiful, I love paper straws, I have been looking for an excuse to buy some. Have a great party 🙂
So much excitement. I can't wait to read about C's party and see the pictures.
I'll be thinking of her while celebrating my own birthday on Tuesday. xx
good luck with the party and indeed all of us who can spend time with our precious children are indeed blessed!
our first birthday party is on saturday too! i'll be thinking of y'all. happy birthday!
I'm excited to see the details of the party. Can't believe Charlotte is already turning 1. How fast the last year has flown by? It's been such a joy to watch her grow (via your blog). Hope to get to meet her real life before she gets much older.
You are so very blessed indeed Lisa! Party hard and enjoy every minute 🙂
