Happy 1st Birthday, Lila bean!

Our darling little bean turned one-year-old today!  And when you see the pictures from her party, you will probably understand why I haven't posted since she turned 11 months . . . I went a little craft crazy!

But before I go into all of the "crafty" pictures, here are some pics of our beautiful little lady enjoying her party this past Saturday!






She knows she's "one"

Ellie and Lila!

Sharing with Ellie - so sweet!


Her smash cake
We did a "smash" cake and these pictures turned out absolutely priceless.  Most of us were in tears from laughing so hard . . . Justin took a video that I will try to get up on the blog this week!




Yes, she tried to pick up the whole cake.  She gets that from me!





Great group shot!
Lila with her grandparents and great-grandparents!
Now for some party pics!  The theme was "Farmer's Market" because we call her Lila bean.  I went completely overboard and will not do this for another birthday again . . . I really need to stop setting the bar so high!  I'll never learn:
Burlap wreaths for the front doors that say "Welcome to Lila's Farmer's Market"
A proper seat for a birthday girl
Everyone used the baskets to eat lunch! 
This Lilly Pulitzer bag was too perfect for our theme

Lila's sign that I copied from Pinterest - saved us $68 bucks!

I made a guest book on Shutterfly for everyone to sign with monthly photos of Lila

Favors for the babies and adults
Lila's Market - the only thing I didn't make was the wooden eggs and muffins!
Hat and bib for cake smash
Mason jars with paper straws . . . LOVE
Cuppycakes
And the big piece of all  - 51 weekly photos of Lila!  We took the 52nd the day after her party.  I will try to get all 52 on a blog post tomorrow!

 We ended the evening with Lila's first bike ride around the court - she loved it!



Today was her actual birthday and she was being a little sweetie pie this morning with her baby doll, Stella:
Lila got Stella's pajamas for her birthday and they match hers!

She loves to kiss her baby

She also went to the beach with her Bebe and PawPaw:


 And she sat for professional photos with a friend of mine from Junior League, Erika Iurcovich.  We got the proofs already and they turned out so wonderful!  Can't wait to get the edited versions to put on the blog for everyone to see!

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful girl in the world, the love of our lives, the best thing that has ever happened to us, and every other cliche you can name for baby girls!  WE LOVE YOU, LILA!
