We had a very Happy 1st Birthday this weekend! Ellie turned one (or actually will turn one officially tomorrow) and we celebrated with lots of friends and family at our house. Ellie seemed to have a wonderful time and just kept playing and socializing and going and going… Oh what a joy today was and what pure joy our little Eloise Harper has brought to our lives.
Credits to all the lovely people who helped make today wonderful:
Hot Air Balloons: handmade by my mom (I helped)
oh happy day and lovely day signs: handmade by me
one wreath: handmade by me
Ellie’s dress: handmade by my mom
Ellie’s bib: handmade by Cory of Dreaming of Pastures
Ellie’s crown: etsy shop Dream Child
Ellie’s month by month cards were made: using these people
and thank you to Jeff’s wonderful family for all the set up help and to everyone that made it. It was so wonderful having my friends and their babies there, grandparents, great grandparents (one whom was here and the other was here in spirit through the beautiful painting she sent for Ellie), cousins, neighbors… so many loved ones! Thank you all for a very special day!

The hot air balloons are AMAZING! Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Eloise! Love your party set up, looks fantastic x
Wish I could have been there and thought about you all weekend, especially yesterday. The photos tell it all, mostly smiles on everyone’s face, the lovely weather was obvious, and it looks like Mom and you did so much handiwork to bring it all off. Love the hot air balloons. Amazing, all of it, a first birthday to remember, for everyone but the princess. One day she will enjoy all your great photos and how much love you have for her and how much fun you make life every day. I love you all so much.
