Molly's Birthday
So I realize that I'm really ahead of the game on this one, but I've been thinking about her birthday for awhile now. I've already decided that the theme will be a garden party. Lots of flowers and birds! (no butterflies, too overdone) I've come up with one idea for it so far, but I don't want to go overboard since 1) she wont remember any of this or really understand what's going on, 2) Rob wont be here for it. I'm just going to invite immediate family and a couple of friends that have babies the same age as her, so I think it'll be fun! It'll give me something to plan for and look forward to for the first couple months he's gone anyways. A book my mother-in-law got me for Christmas has this cool idea to bake bread in a terra cotta flower pot. So my plan is to buy a bunch of those really little ones, and make cupcakes in them! Beyond that I have no ideas other than getting some fresh flowers, maybe some bud vases, and decorate with those. And besides, if I remain living in the same apartment we are now, we don't have that much room, so I can't do much more than that anyways. I wanted to do cute photo card invites, but I might just use evite.com instead, I'm not sure. I haven't found a card that I like and goes with the theme at all yet. I wanted to get the cool huge cupcake mold to make for her smash cake, but I think I saw it at the store for$16 and well, that's just more than I'm willing to spend for that. So that's all I have going on with that. She's currently napping right now, and I'm wishing that I had used the time to take a shower instead of waste time on the internet. Oh well, maybe she'll stay asleep for awhile longer!

Wow, you're ahead of the game! You go girl. Lol! I always wait until the last minute. The one tradition that I have religiously followed for Brooke's birthdays has been to make her petite fours for her party... Just because they're so dainty and pretty. I'm already semi-dreading the work ahead of me as her birthday is only a little over a month away. The things we do for our daughters!
