Skye's First Birthday!

Skye's first birthday seemed to come around so quickly! Her first year flew by!!

It's taken me so long to finally get these pictures and this post up!!

We had such a great day at home with her, and she was so spoilt!

We woke up early and she opened some of her presents, it took her nearly all day to get through them all!! She kept losing interest and wanting to play with Leo!

We then made her giant cupcake while she had her nap so she could do her cake smash on her actual birthday. Luckily daddy took the day off work so he could see her do it as well! He also pretty much decorated most of the cake... but shh! I'll do a separate post with this as there are quite a few pics!

Later in the evening once she had been bathed after the cake had been smashed and some of it fed to Leo, more family popped round and she was given more presents!

She definitely slept well that night!

We decided to have her party at the weekend when everyone was off work, and when more of our family could come, we had such great fun decorating the house and she loved the attention and playing with her cousins!! It was such a shame that Dom's family couldn't come as they are so far away, but we did see them before her birthday so Skye could play with Eby!

I'm so glad she had such a special day and we will remember it for ever! You only turn one once, so all the planning and making things was definitely worth it!

Even now I still can't believe she is one!!

Here are some pictures from the day and her party! :)

So a week or so beforehand I decided I wanted to make her a birthday crown for her cake smash photo's! I also wanted to make her a birthday banner, which hopefully she can use every year! Although neither things I made were perfect, I think they looked good and considering I'm no whizz on a machine, I think I did ok! I also spend a good few weeks making her the tutu.. !! (tedious much?!)

                         

So here she is, the birthday beauty!!

We got everything ready the night before!

Her first morning of being one!!

Nanny and Grandad spoilt her with this bike!!

Her Party at the weekend!

We had bought a helium can for her "hot air balloon" photo's and had lots left!!

I made sure to take a picture of her each month..!! I love seeing how much she changed in such a short time!!

Ben and Holly cake!!

She was excited to see Gaston the ladybird!!

We decorated the mirror with photo's that I had printed into polaroids, of her first year! <3

This we made for her christening!

She ended the night by playing with her balloons!!

I really enjoyed planning her birthday, and making things for her to keep!! 

And as sad as it is that every year she will be a year older, I'm looking forward to planning her next party and celebrating another amazing year spent with her <3
