The Big Day! Leilani turns 1!

My mind was racing the night before and the day of. I had some wonderful ladies that help me prepare until 2am! I started back up seven that morning. Leilani was all smiles until we got to the party, she was so cranky and tired. She slept through half of the party.





 I love this pictures it reminds me of a princess's table. All the little party hats were handmade and so much fun to make. Alot of glue gun burns hehe.

Sweets, Sweets and More Sweets!

I wanted the themed food to remind me of Lani; sugar, spice and everything nice OH! and how could I forget TuTu's. I did a sweets bar not a candy bar being that candy cost so much in bulk. I made some of the sweets; the chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate dipped marshmellows and rice krispie lollipops dipped in chocolate. The hardest thing to make were the pretzels because the pearls would slide of. I tried to find candy to match our color scheme which was'nt easy.Target had a little candy shop ailes and that's were I bought all the candy. I wanted to make presentable yummy food that everyone could grab and mingle, we had cheesburger sliders, baked hot wings, pigs in a blanket and pizza cresent pockets (I recommend them on any day) . The most popular thing at the party was the fondue table. I don't thing we had any strawberries left :D

The "TUTU" fabulous Sweets Table

As you can see it was very hard trying to keep this skirt up. I never realized tulle could be so heavy! It took about 8 - 10hrs to make the skirt and 200 yds later my dream TuTu. It could wrap around Lani and I about two times!

Fushia, Teal, Kiwi Green and Purple

 I had sooo much fun making the paper poms. I loved them so much that I tried incorporating them in any way I could. I got the courset tutu cake from super target, a lady who makes all our cakes named michelle did it.

 

Bubbles, Bubbles and More Bubbles

The kids really enjoyed this bubble machine. I got it from Walmart for only $6 and the big bottle of bubble soap was 75 cents. Totally worth it.

A few little Details I LOVE.
