It all started when we received this adorable invitation in the mail. We knew this was a party we couldn't miss.
Justin was a fabulous host for his daughter, Violet's first birthday party.
Here is the birthday girl, Violet with her incredibly
crafty mom and wonderful hostess.
Seriously, no detail was left out of this party. From the food to the decorations it was all pretty amazing.
Heather made this double-layer chocolate and vanilla cake with marshmallow fondant and homemade buttercream. Yum!
No party would be complete without munchies, so we had chocolate squirrel caramel apples,
along with peanuts in a Friendship Pyerx bowl.
Kellee made these amazing sugar cookies, of course.
These truffle fries were so good. I might have to make some here soon.
The drinks were even fabulous. I was pretty smitten with my Pink Panty Punch.
Heather even made these cute little lanterns. Aren't they cute?
Little Eisley's room was turned into a craft room.
The children got to decorate little bird houses.
Then Violet's room was transformed into a photo booth. Heather's dad painted the backdrop in just under a week. Crazy right?
It was perfect!
The adults even got to have a little fun. You'll have to check out
Heather's blog for more fun photos.
Kel and I had to get into all the fun too.
Violet got her own little cake and we got to sing to her.
She had no problems digging right into that cake.
There was a cute little dog named Armani floating around. Elizabeth wasn't too fond of Armani, so Justin's grandma was happy to rescue her.
Squirrel caramel apples were in enjoyed by many.
Violet enjoyed many wonderful gifts.
We guests enjoyed many little gifts too.
Heather made all of the children, that's six for my family, crayon rolls including labels with their names. They are so cute.
We older folk were sent home with chocolate. One can't complain about that.
IKEA chcolate does not disappoint!
Happy Birthday, Violet. Thank you so much for letting us share in your special day. Check out Heather' blog

That is one amazing birthday party!
Oh Jan! You are so sweet to post about Vi's party! I was so glad you & your kids were there, it was crowded, but we didn't mind since it was such good company :)
And serious thanks for letting me use some of your amazing photos. You have some serious talent...
Adriane--the feeling is mutual, my Lutheran buddy! I can't wait to meet you in person someday.
Your little ones are so darling, Jan. And you are a gifted photographer! Thanks for trying to help me out with my own skills, by the way.
