Ellie's first birthday!

I can NOT believe my little lady is already one! She is so loved we had to have two parties!! My sisters helped me throw a Pink, Piggy, Pancake, Pajama, Party! 


The book If You Give a Pig a Pancake was my inspiration. Oh and these cute jam jams from Target that Auntie Kate got Ellie. 





Look I'm one!




Of course we had LOTS of pink and piggies for decoration!! 




I used my new Cricut to cut out all the pigs and the lettering.


The food table, just missing the pancakes! We got the Hungry Jack complete pancake mix, BEST PANCAKES EVER!! Seriously, so good! 


Notice how part of the backdrop is from Ellie's cake smash photo shoot!



Table tutus are too much fun!!



The balloon garland idea came from
Pinterest. Lizz turned the pink balloons into pigs!!


There were little piggies on the table too!!


Cupcakes, Ellie's smash cake, and pictures from the photo shoot! 


These are the piggies I cut out using the Cricut. Same piggies that were on the table.

 
I made cake pops as party favors, the tags said: "Thanks for popping in and pigging out with us!"


C, the Bashas bakery lady outdid herself with this cake that looks like a stack of pancakes. I'm NOT a cake maker, and I usually don't like Bashas cakes, but this was AMAZING!!  I added some yellow Laffy Taffy to look like butter. 


All ready for her cake!!


She's off...


She REALLY liked the cake!


Yum!!


So many presents!!


She has so much fun playing with the wrapping paper and ribbons! 


Special thanks to husband he made all the yummy pancakes and he let me take over the house with the party madness!!


My sisters who love is unconditionally and indulge EllieLou!


And Megs who came all the way from Flagstaff and took all the great pictures!



Ellie is one and we had LOTS of fun!!
