Birthday Brunch

Today was Eliana's much-anticipated 1st Birthday Brunch.  I have been excited for quite some time to put together a "You Are My Sunshine" themed event.  Besides the fact that our little lady embodies the sentiment of that song, it happens to be one of my grandma's absolute favorites.  I thought this would be a great way to honor them both.  Here's a look at the celebration:

I took this a few days before the party in hopes of having a large picture to display.  As you can see, she didn't exactly cooperate and we did without an enlargement.

Felt clouds and paper lanterns

Breakfast cupcakes and You are my sunshine/Happy Birthday Eliana toppers

I usually spend a lot of time on favors only to have half get left behind.  This time, I went with something simple.

She loved all the attention . . .

Ready to open presents

 We had a great day and can't wait to enjoy her actual birthday with her tomorrow.
