Emilee's BEE-day party!

The day before Emilee turned one, we threw a little BEE-day bash for her. It was SO FUN! I started collecting bee-themed things a few months ago and I was able to put together a cute little party for her 1st birthday. I hung yellow paper lanterns above her party high chair and attached little bee stickers to it so that it sort of resembled a bee hive.  I made little BEE party bags for all of the kids to take home filled with bee stickers, bee erasers, honey sticks, bee candy, yellow striped candy sticks, bubbles, etc. The gift bags were just yellow lunch bags and I glued on black strips of felt, googily eyes, and little wings made out of sparkly scrapbook paper. ADORABLE! I found a beehive drink dispenser at Pier 1 several months ago and filled it with lemonade for the kids (and adults) to enjoy. Lynae got a bunch of mini bottles of honey in those little bear shaped bottles, emptied them out, and turned them into cute little sippy cups for all of the kids!  Emilee's ADORABLE cake was made by Upper Crust and looked like a pretty little bee. She very much enjoyed the cake, and I even tried some of her semi-slobbery left-overs because, um, HELLO... it was from Upper Crust!!! Everyone else got cute little cupcakes made by Safeway with black and yellow decor. Tammy got little bee antennas for everyone to wear. She also made an AWESOME board for photos with little holes for the kids (and adults!) to put their faces through. Soooo cute!

We had such a fun time. All of Emilee's family and little friends were there. Everyone played and mingled and had a great time together, and then blessed Emilee with lots of presents! She got tons of CUTE outfits, mostly for this fall, and some reallllyyy fun toys. I love our friends and family and I'm so thankful for all of them. I'm so happy everyone could come and celebrate our little princess with us! I can't believe she's ONE!!!!!!!

Here are some pictures from her special day. Enjoy!
