Caitlin's Berry-Sweet Birthday!

Caitlin's birthday fell on a Saturday, so we were able to have her party on her actual birthday. Because we have friends with kids of all ages, mostly older and not so many younger, we decided to hold it at Swift-Cantrell Park. I was so stressed out thinking about it raining that day, that I didn't even think to worry about the heat! We were so lucky to have an overcast day and it ended up being ok.

Caitlin's favorite fruit at the moment is strawberries, so of course it was an easy choice for a theme and then I saw these amazing invitations and favors from Nico and Lala and that sealed the deal!

Caitlin was a champ at eating her cake. She had no problem digging in and chowing down. I am pretty sure she would have eaten the entire thing had we not stopped her. It's a good thing I over-ordered the cake so that Caitlin and I could share leftovers for the next few days :)

Caitlin's first birthday was so low maintenance and so low key that I actually got a chance to take pictures and talk to everyone that came- I may host the next few birthdays at the park again! A huge and special thanks to Nonna and Grandpa Steve for helping with the decorating and set-up and hussling the girls out the door. We actually beat all of our guests to the party, which never would have happened without their help. Thank you to everyone for celebrating with us and driving from far away to join in the fun.
