It's been nearly two months since our little bug turned one. Or shall I say our little snowflake? I threw together a quick 'n' easy "Winter ONEderland" themed party for family and friends and here's how it went down...
 |
| Let's talk about this igloo cake, shall we? After Bec gave me the idea for the wintry theme, I found the idea for this baby on Pinterest and thought, "well that's something I'll totally screw up". I gave it a go, figuring I'd run out for cupcakes if it turned out to be a fail. It took a few tries, but I actually did #nailit in the end. |
 |
| Because what birthday party is complete without a dessert table? The marshmallow "snow" may be my most favorite thing ever. |
 |
| The birthday girl in her full regalia, before she spit up allover her Jason Wu (for Target) dress. |
 |
| Couldn't get a decent shot of the entire family, but here we our with our baby, post wardrobe change! Note the mini igloo cake (made from a cupcake). |
 |
| Fill a crockpot with cocoa and toss some colorful marshmallows and fancy cookies in mason jars and call me a happy girl. |
 |
| A shot of the Nell's mini igloo smash cake (and some yummy choco-covered pretzels, too). |
 |
| A craft table was set up in our basement for the older kids. $1 wooden frames from Michaels, plus stickers and glitter glue made for an easy and cute activity and party favor. |
 |
| We blew up 35 white balloons and released them as a "blizzard" in the basement. |
 |
| The chalkboard print I had made on Etsy for like $5. I had it printed out poster-size at Walgreens, glued it onto foam board and had a great photoshoot prop--and a centerpiece for the party. |
 |
| Sugar, sugar... |
 |
| Love me some Shutterfly freebies. This book cost less than $10 (printing/shipping cost only) and is filled with pics from day 1 to day 365. And now, messages from Nell's nearest and dearest... |
