We threw Presley a beautiful polka dot party yesterday and it was a major success! Every item of food was round, there were hanging polka dots and polka dots on the wall, there were balls and bubbles for the kids to play with… everything was so cute!!! Our wonderful friend David Song took pictures, so we will post them when he has them ready in a couple weeks.
We had over 50 people attend… We feel SO blessed to have so many people in our lives who love our angel, Presley Claire. We opened gifts for 30 minutes and the sweet child never took the smile off her face. She was the life of the party- a total doll… a very friendly, happy, personable sweet little birthday girl. She wore a precious pink and green polka dotted dress and great little pigtails. I made both cakes- a two tier white cake with buttercream icing and pink and green polka dots, and a strawberry smashcake with chocolate frosting and the same polka dots (which she LOVED). They definitely weren’t perfect, but they were cute and everyone seemed to enjoy them (and they didn’t cost $60 which is what all the bakeries were going to charge for what I wanted).
Also, Chris’ family from Texas came in and we had a great visit. The girls came over Saturday night to hang with me and Pres while the boys went to the LSU spring game. They had a great time playing with the baby and I got to handmake all that cake & icing for the polka dots.The time together was way too short and left us wanting more, but Lauren had a big golf tournament today- such the little athlete she is 
Thanks to everyone who came to the party and made our baby’s birthday so very special. Last night after everything was put away and Chris went to go get us some dinner, I started crying just thinking about how blessed we are to have such amazing friends and family in our lives. I was truly touched by the generosity of everyone who gave time and gifts for Presley. If you weren’t there, we missed you.
I couldn’t have asked for a better 1st birthday party for Presley- she deserved every minute of planning and preparation that it took. Can’t wait to post pictures soon!!
