not yet one, but already celebrated!

August doesn't turn one until tomorrow, but we are headed to Colorado this weekend, so we had a little party for her last weekend. The party started at 4, and around 2 that afternoon, birthday girl decided to try crawling out of her crib, which resulted in her falling out and getting a bloody nose. I have never felt worse in my life. She ended up being okay and with a couple of bruises on her cheek. Crib now lowered to the lowest possible spot! It was so horrible, but will definitely be something we'll never forget about that day!

the invites

 

This pic pretty much sums up my vision for this party - vintage yellow rose party (because of her name and duh, TEXAS) with daisies, peach, orange and cream accents


the decorations





the favors - I made yellow rose cookies.

the party!








Since we are seeing my family this weekend in Colorado, my parents weren't able to come to Tennessee for the party, so we put them on iChat as we sang and she ate her cupcake.













a sweet bunch of girls - Ava, Bennet, Audrey, Liberty, Lorelei, Merit, and August!
Bennet, Lorelei, and August are all really close in age - her future bff's!

Thank you so much to everyone who came and made August's day so special. It truly meant so much to us to have you there. 

Happy Birthday, August Rose! Tomorrow we will celebrate you all over again!

You are so resourceful and creative! I plan on pinning a couple of these pics, if that's all right with you. And I love how sweet August just went right after that cupcake :)
