Happy Birthday Princess!!!

It’s hard to believe a whole year has gone by since we first welcomed Arabella into the world. (Although it’s equally difficult to remember life before her!!)




To mark her first birthday, I wanted to create a pink princess party we’d never forget (well the princess herself won’t remember it, but hopefully she’ll enjoy looking at the photos in years to come!). John designed some gorgeous invites and we ordered a fab outfit on Etsy from HugWear



Here is my beautiful princess modelling her outfit! (It’s almost impossible to get any non-blurry, face-on pics of her as she’s sooooooooo lively~ was walking before the 10month mark and can now out-run me!!!! Don’t know where she gets the energy, as she never sleeps longer than 20mins!!!)

And what does every princess need???

A pony!!!!!

I also whipped up some cupcake toppers and a high-chair banner and was in my element buying, baking & making pink goodies to decorate the kitchen. I was only allowed to decorate the kitchen as big brother, Dylan, wanted to scare all the guests first with the hallway and garden decked out for Halloween!!!

We’d a brill day sipping pink champers and nibbling pink delights (including some luminous pink painted sausage rolls, and groovy ham roley-poleys sambos!)

(This was only half the goodies.... We're still stuffed!!!)

House almost back to normal now... roll on 23rd November when we do it all again for Dylan’s 6th birthday pirate extravaganza!!!!

Happy First Birthday Arabella
