Madelyn's 1st Birthday Party!!

Sorry for the lack of blog posts lately.  I've been a little preoccupied with finishing up the decorations for Miss Madelyn's 1st Birthday Party!  

First, I must thank everyone who was able to come and celebrate Madelyn's big day with us!  It wouldn't have been the same without our family and friends celebrating with us.  Even though the birthday girl wasn't feeling the best she still had a blast!  We have some of the best family and friends anyone could ask for, thanks again!!

I don't think it will come as a surprise to many but I started planning and brainstorming her party when she was about 6 or 7 months old.  Yes, I am a planner and I wanted this party to be perfect.  I knew the theme would be owls and I would incorporate them into as much of the decor as possible.  And, thanks to Pinterest and Etsy my vision quickly came to life.  But instead of writing all about it I'll let the pictures do the talking.  I hope you think it turned out as well as I did!

I just realized I didn't take any pictures of the food table, oops!  The Golf Club did a fantastic job putting together a menu that was kid and adult friendly.  We had cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, chicken tenders, sandwiches, homemade chips and their french onion dip.  Beverages included water, coffee and punch. 

It's Tuesday so I'm linking up with Kristin for Baby Talk!
