Allison's First Birthday - Phases 1 & 2

My friend Jenna's little Allison (from the kissing post a few days ago) just turned one year old!

Jenna is one of the party throwin'est people you'd ever want to meet and she seriously had a PLAN for her little girly's one year celebration.

Phase 1: Take photos in her custom made "1" outfit complete with tutu and matching hair pretty (that crafty Jenna made for her) to put on her birthday invitation.

(This was the photo used on the invite.)


and a few others from the phase 1 session:





(she also got her toes painted for the occasion:)




Phase 1 - check! Now on to Phase 2, the party:

So we went to the party today and there were lots of friends and relatives who'd come from far and wide, including Allison's great, great grandma.

There was lots of yummy food and gourmet cupcakes and a house full of great presents. But the highlight was Allison getting to dig in to her own little personal birthday cake:




I think I'm going to eat cake that way on my next birthday. Seriously.

Anyway, we're through with Phase 2, now on to Phase 3 next week - a full on, 1 year commemorative photo session complete with several wardrobe changes and another custom cake. It is sure to be fun, so stay tuned next week for more Allison birthday photos.

Every one year old should have a mother this dedicated to making their first birthday special!
