As I brainstormed a theme for Giada's 1st birthday, there were several cute ideas that caught my eye. Once the "fair theme" came to mind, I knew we had to make it come to life. As many know, we love the fair and so it was fitting to have a Country Fair for Giada's birthday.
As invites we sent out, my mind began spinning with ideas. For the longest time, it felt as though the ideas would never come together, but as usual, Anthony and I pulled it off!!!
As our guest arrived, they were welcomed by the birthday girl and a big smile. A Gold Fish Toss, Can Toss, Balloon Pop, Corn Holes and Face Painting (Thank you Dad!) were all available for the kids to play and enjoy. A lemonade stand, made by my hubby, was fully stocked with drinks for the little ones and a full bar for the adults, of course. The concession stand was filled with corn dogs, tri-tip sandwiches, watermelon, grapes, chips, meatballs, popcorn and margaritas. To wrap up the goodies, there was a dessert table with cake, brownies, miniature apple pies, cupcakes and animal crackers.
Giada was blessed with a party full of family and friends that love her. We can't thank everyone enough for celebrating our little peanut. In addition, we would not have been able to accomplish all we did without the help of our parents....and of course Jeff for housing the hounds for the day and showing up early and taking any order I gave him:)
After the guest had left, the boys cleaned up the yard and played a little corn holes. My mom and Val cleaned in the house and I was able to take a short break. As the evening rolled around, Annie and Emily came back over to open gifts and enjoyed some Chinese food with us!
The day was a success and cheers to many more!
