Emily's Berry First Birthday Party

Today marked the culmination of roughly nine months of dreaming and a solid two months of planning a very important event...Emily's Berry First Birthday Party!  While I'm sure it sounds ridiculous to put that much planning into a birthday party for a one year-old, it was worth every single moment.  This little party was such a labor of love, down to every little detail.  I spent hours of time planning decorations, handmaking the majority of them.  Each part of the party was thought about probably too much, and while I budgeted myself pretty well, choosing to do much myself rather than purchasing ready made, too much money was probably spent.  Regardless, I am so glad I did it and would (and will) do it again in a heartbeat.  Emily had a FABULOUS time and so did all of our sweet friends and family who came to celebrate.  I will never forget what a wonderful time we had together celebrating our sweet, perfect little one year-old princess, Emily Elizabeth.
