Leila's 1st Birthday -- a wee bit late...

I realized this afternoon that I intended to post some pictures from Leila's birthday party and never did it. We had the party the day after graduation, which was the day before we left for our cruise. You can understand why this post slipped through the cracks. :)

I loved the idea of having a "one" themed party, but it proved difficult to execute once I started to try to detail out my vision. We settled on the classic "Once Upon a Time" instead--much easier and much cuter. :)

The girls received tiaras at the beginning of the party
The birthday girl got an extra-special tiara with a sparkley bow!

 The boys got (foam) swords!

Her castle cake was super girly!

Singing "Happy Birthday"

Leila tries her first bite of birthday cake (notice Benj in the background--he is SO tired of waiting for that cake!)

 Watching Leila enjoy her cake was one of the best parts of the whole party!
