And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.

Holly's first birthday party was incredible, all thanks to Melanie, my friend and neighbor. Mel put so much time into the invites, decoration and favours and she did an amazing job! How lucky am I to have such a good friend??? You can see her post on the party here (lots of double photos - we shared!).
How cute are these invites?
Holly's personal cake.
The favours. Inside were sour patch watermelons.
The grub - hummus, veggies, bread, fruit and water with lime and watermelon ice cubes.
These are the best cupcakes I've ever made and eaten in my life. They're a lemon cake with raspberry-lime curd and a whipped curd frosting. Incredible!
Holly snapped the elastic against herself and then hated the adorable hat.
My little ham - she's so adorable!
I found the cupcake recipe here. These are labour-intensive but worth every moment. They're just that delicious!

Everything is amazing, i was pretty much jumping up and down when i saw it on Mels blog. Holly will love looking back on the pics when she older.

Melanie is a true friend! The hours and hours it must have taken to handmake each and every decoration- amazing!  And it was so nice of Lisa and Garth to provide such a beautiful setting for the event. Loved the light strings!
Never- NEVER- have I seen a baby dive into cake with more abandon than Holly did!  It was hilarious! So glad we got to be there!
