I've told you before that it was ALL EMILY'S DOING, but just in case you forgot: IT WAS ALL EMILY'S DOING!!!!! Emily was the mastermind behind every last detail and I don't want to be given any credit for its perfection. (MINUS the perfect little one year old that everyone came to see. I was 100% involved in that part!).
Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" was
our Emily's inspiration for the big day. Pictures will say it best. Here they are!
 |
| The Birthday Girl! Decked out in polka dots and pigtails! (So maybe I played a role in dress selection....) |
|

 |
| This little critter was a HIGH MAINTENANCE one. Between securing the pom-pom's, puffing them up, taping them to the ceiling, and RE-TAPING them to the ceiling......we had our work cut out for us! Alas, it really did add a special something to the room and I'm glad we went through the hassle! |
 |
| Subtle (or not so) reminders of AGE ONE were everywhere! Can you tell that Emily is a kindergarten teacher??? |

|
 |
| 12 months of ELEANOR! In CATERPILLAR FORM! |
 |
| The snack table - complete with some delicious, book-featured foods! |
 |
| As Auntie Gem said, "Every ONE YEAR OLD needs their own, personalized water bottles!" |
 |
| Party hats! Or shall we say REALLY ADORABLE ANTENNAS that were mandatory for all attendees! |
 |
| A little party favour for all :) |
 |
| The caterpillar jar that now holds many, many warm wishes for Eleanor's future. It's looking BRIGHT, I tell ya! xo |
 |
| HIP, HIP for PARTIES!!!! The world's biggest thank you to Emily who spent hours on end planning, creating and decorating. WE LOVE YOU, GEM!!!!! xo |
