One year of chair photos

I don't think I will continue the chair photos now that Harlow is one (it's just too hard to keep her in that chair!) But don't worry, there will be plenty of photo shoots this year. Here is a collage of the first year. Month one cracks me up!

Bunny Birthday Brunch

I had so much fun planning Harlow's first birthday party! I decided to have a brunch so that Harlow would be in her best mood which is typically in the morning. I think having it first thing was great for everyone because the guests could come and enjoy themselves (before kids nap times) then have the rest of the day free.

The bunny theme came from Harlow's love of the book "Pat the Bunny". I also figured since easter is early this year I would be able to find lots of bunny decorations. When I was collecting things for the party hubby asked "Are bunnies the new owls?" Ha!

Here are a few pics of the decorations. I wish I had taken a picture of the food...There was a second bigger fabric banner over the food. Also not pictured, was a pinterest inspired centerpiece with pink bunny peeps in a clear vase with flowers. It was kinda creepy when I put water in it, it felt like I was drowning the bunnies. And, they sorta "fattened up" with the water. Anyways...the menu (that I failed to take a picture of) Included a (also pinterest inspired) sausage egg casserole that I made the night before and popped in the oven in the morning (big hit); Two Costco quiches; Costco croissants with jam; fruit salad; mini white powdered donuts; and mimosas.
