She’s ONE! We can’t believe how fast this year has gone…and that our sweet baby girl is quickly becoming a wild climbing toddler! I thought I would share a visual recap of her birthday party with you…she had a blast and LOVED her cake!

| The silver balloon is a GIANT #1. And plush sock monkeys served a dual role of balloon weight and party favor. |
Here are some close-ups, all the decorations were easy, cheap, and on theme!
