First Birthday Parties Are Fun

She is the sweetest little thing! Thanks for sharing.

What a difference 365 days make :) Looks like Anna had a lovely 1st birthday and best of all, she'll know that she did when she's older because you have the photos (and will have the layouts) to show her. She's absolutely gorgeous and I hope the next year is a good one for all of you.

What lovely photos, especially the one with Simon & Anna in their chairs. By the way, hope you are able to watch Henry Louis Gates Jr's series Faces of America on PBS. Fascinating and lots of ties into your Y&T class.

this post was just beautiful...so happy for you and your family. is that a corolle doll? i never had a girl, but always wanted to buy one of those dolls...maybe my boys will have a little girl one day!

The picture of she and Simon is precious! Definitely a frameable momento to cherish for years to come. Happy birthday to your sweet girl!

Happy Belated Birthday to Anna! It's been fun watching her throughout her first year... I always check out things you recommend, since my little one is turning 1 on Sunday so they are really close in age. :o)

gorgeous party set up! Can't believe she's already one!

Beautiful! We love our PB chairs here, too! She is a lovely little girl, Ali! :)

Great pictures Ali! I love your family and love to watch it grow and change. I especially like seeing how much Simon cares for Anna. You truly have a beautiful family.

I just caught an episode on Wednesday night - what a great series!

Aw,, what a sweet party lil A had! great memories!
Thank for sharing with us.

Ali,

And how cute is she? So Cute! Great shots. I love the one with you and Chris holding her hands. She's adorable. Happy Birthday, Sweet Anna!

The poms are wonderful! So festive yet stylish. And I just LOVE the mini chair next to the bigger one. So cute! It looks like a really fun time. :) I can't wait to have a little one to give birthday parties to.

I'm so glad it was a happy time for all of you. Some birthdays can go wrong when they are that little. She is to precious for words, beutiful eyes and sweet smile. Love the matching chairs with them so cute. Your house is beutiful also. Simon and Anna are so lucky to have each other and two great parents. Happy first year to all of you. The birthday hat you made her was the best, I showed it too my girls and they loved it on her. Have a Happy Valentines Weekend with your family.

a mini-me Ali :) I love it when you share the pics. And Simon's legs are sooooo LONG!!! He's growing like a weed :) Looks like it was a perfect 1st!

I LOVE this photo with the different size chairs

She is such a sweet little character!

I love it! Thanks for sharing. I am about to celebrate my twin boys first birthday and it seems that this is exactly the kind of party I want to have for them. I follow your blog since we both were pregnant together. How fun! It seems that I know you already. You are an inspiration to me. God bless you.

Ali, super cute. Thanks for sharing the amazing photos. Happy Birthday to Anna.
