Quinn's 1st Birthday Party

Party Time! 
 
Let's be honest, I spent the last several months collecting birthday party ideas on Pinterest.  It was a lot of fun but also overwhelming and intimidating.  But it in the end, what was important was that Quinn had an awesome time with friends and family and I got a chance to be creative and reflect on the past year.  It wouldn't have come together with out all the help from family, esp. my sweet sister, mother-in-law, and my dad's girlfriend.  SO thank you especially to Chrissy, Kim, and Wendy for all the help setting up and cleaning up.  And thanks to Kim and Jeff's grandma for making the sugar cookies for the fruit pizza bar.

Here is the set up and food:

 my labor of love the week before the party

I used chalk board paint for the signs and yellow spray paint on the mason jar, holders, frames, and highchair.



(the lemonades were switched to the correct sides later on)  :)

I made the banner by punching 2 inch circles from scrapbook paper and sewing them straight through on the sewing machine- it was SUPER easy!

Everyone seemed to have fun even though it was 100+ degrees outside.
