I went back and forth on a couple 1st birthday themes before finally deciding on "cute as a button." It proved to be a tough theme because there aren't a lot of pre-made things you can buy. In the end it was almost a cute as the birthday girl herself!
We had about 4 hours to make the hall cute as a button before the guest arrived. Aubrey's Nana, Aunt B., Godmama Kalli, Great Aunt Lynn and Great Aunt Lolo jumped right in to make sure everything was perfect. I was a bit nervous when I realized the hall was decorated for Christmas. But no worries...we just took down the red bow and decorated the tree to match our theme - complete with giant paper plate buttons!
Even the table Aubrey got from Lynn and Dave was set for a small party of four...
The book for all her guest to sign...
Favors. Notebooks for the big kids and "A" puff for the babies.
Other details... button chocolates, the dessert/gift table, etc.....

| Lunch was sandwiches, potato soup and chili with all the fixings |
 |
| These two were something else about 30 minutes before the party - finally spilling chili before we finally made them sit down! |
Before we knew it, the birthday girl was arriving and it was time to get her all dolled up for her big day!

| Breck checking out all the girl toys! |

| This girl hates to have her feet covered as much as her mama does! |
Time for cake!
This is a real life video...if you make it until the end, you'll even see her gag on fondant! You'll also notice that she doesn't skip a beat, and just keeps on eating!
A few more pictures from the day...

| I love all my presents! |
Our happiest guest may have been Godpapa Kyky. Who knew that a sub sandwich and bag of ice cream cups could make some someone so happy?!
Happy Birthday to Aubrey Marie, our Cute as a Button Baby Girl!
