We celebrated my sweet girl's first birthday this weekend!
 
I've known for awhile I wanted to do the “You Are My Sunshine birthday” theme. I always sing the song to Emma Ramey when I wake her up from naps, and I've called her “Sunshine” forever. She is just a little ray of sunshine if you know her, so I thought it was perfect!
 
For the menu for our You are My Sunshine birthday party, we had lots of fun sunshine-themed foods. Here was the menu:
  • Hummus
  • Cheese Straws (using this recipe)
  • Pimento Cheese Dip (using this recipe)
  • Lemon cake pops (this post helped a lot)
  • Sun dried tomato wraps
  • Rainbow fruit kabobs
  • Banana pudding cups
  • Sunshine Cups (using this recipe)
  • Tortilla Chips
  • Sun Chips

I absolutely love how her cake turned out! A local baker did it for us…I'd highly recommend them if you're in my area.

The rosette balls were truly a labor of love. 🙂 Anybody can make them, but they are time-consuming. Here's where I got the idea!

The bunting behind the food table had all of her monthly pictures. It was so neat to see the progression.

Her smash cake matched her big cake. This high chair was actually one I used when I was a little girl!

Here's our drink table. I did the printables, and got this great idea from Sarah to make water bottle labels.

Our entry table had favor cookies by the super, super talented Holly, and another labor of love – ribbon topiaries.

We had a signature frame for everyone to sign with her invitation and her picture!
