Maryn's Bird Day Party DETAILS

On Saturday, June 9th, we celebrated little miss's first birthday with a "bird day" themed party.  Her nursery and birth announcments were bird themed so it was only fitting that her first birthday party was birds as well!  We had it at Nana and Papaw's office which is such a blessing since we had about 60 friends and family with us to celebrate.  Here is a post of the details (how very Pinterest of me!).

Anna at For the Love of Joy made the two banners and the little one for her high chair - these two will go over her crib since they are the same material as all of her bedding!

I found the little birdhouses and the metal birds at Target and got the "organic bloom" esque frames at Hobby Lobby!

The cakes were precious and delicious and came from Creative Memories in Hurst, TX.

These pink crystal trees served as our centerpieces and each one was adorned with a metal bird and several wallets of Maryn attached to sparkly cardstock that we cut out using the cricut.

"Birdie" Snacks - gummi worms, goldfish, and swedish fish

Magnets for friends and family to take home

Chow mein noodle bird nests

Treats for "Big Birdies" (bird whistle and bubbles) and "Little Birdies" squeezable applesauce

Maryn's wishes

We cricuted about 6 dozen birds to hang throughout.

Lovey made this 1 out of cardboard and then attached scrunched up tissue paper.

Crepe paper photo backdrop.

Buckets for the canned food donated in lieu of gifts.

Paint your own birdhouses and make your own bird feeders for the big siblings.

And the bird day girl enjoying it all!

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day, Brandon!  We love you so much and are so thankful for the husband, father, attorney, civic leader, and Christian man that you are!

Eyes only for her daddy!

Happy 1st Anniversary to Maryn's Due Date

 

We love this baby girl so much!

We are in the midst of a TIME WARP!

The Hill household has been super busy these past couple of months.  My photography business is booming, and we've got some exciting new things going professionally.  Unfortunately, the blog has taken the back burner.  This past weekend I hosted a baby shower for a sweet friend, and this upcoming weekend we will be celebrating Maryn's first birthday.  I just can't wrap my head around it at all.  I have two toddlers now.  She is walking and communicating (mama, bye bye, and signing milk, more, bites, and she is a master pointer).  We are so blessed by her easy going demeanor and love seeing her personality shine!  We will have a whole post about her "pinterest-worthy" party that I have been planning since she was just a wee babe.  :)

I promise I will get the blog caught up it just might be a couple months, years, etc.

For now, enjoy our princess (and prince)!!
