Ashlynn has always loved color. Wheel of Fortune is her favorite show, and she sits in awe of the wheel spinning. Because of this, I chose to do a colorful "polka dot" party to celebrate her 1st year of life!
First is a peek at the decorations. The party was held in a fellowship room at Mark's parents church. It worked out perfectly with space, and no one had to clean house beforehand :) Because the party was mid-afternoon we served cupcakes, chicken nuggets, fruit, and veggies, along with lemonade and water. Our families helped so much in getting prepared for the party!
Ashlynn sported a polka-dotted name shirt that I found on Etsy, and a fun tutu!
When it came time for presents, she was more interested in eating paper and playing with everyone that was there!
She did get a little curious when Blaise started checking out her toys!
Here are a few pictures of our {much loved and appreciated} guests!

I am sad that I don't have pictures of more people, but we spent most of our time celebrating our sweet girl!
Once present time was over, we sang "Happy Birthday" and gave Ashlynn her smash cake. With her love for sweets, we thought she would smash right into that thing. Instead, she surprised us by spending a good 10 minutes picking off individual sprinkles and eating them!
She finally dug into the icing a little bit (after we cut the cake in half!)
And then discovered the good part: the chocoloate!
For most of the party, she crawled around and played with everyone. She hadn't had a nap all day, but was such a happy girl the entire time!
She discovered some decorations in the window, and spent a long time playing with them.
She finally got one pulled off, and spent the rest of the party wearing it like a necklace!
It was such a fun, and smooth day. We are so thankful for everyone who came and helped us celebrate Ashlynn's birthday. Before we know it we will be celebrating her 2nd, 5th and 16th birthdays!
