Damaris's Birthday Party



We don't normally do parties for the kids, but we kind of decided to do one for their first birthday, 5th, and who knows, maybe their 10th and then 16th :) :)

 Damaris wanted a cake with butterflies, and then she wanted cupcakes, so I decided to make the cupcakes in the shape of a butterfly :) :)

Our "small" group is over 50 people if everyone is there with all their kids, so we decided to have the party at the church instead of our house.

My sister Kara, and her husband Dan came up for the weekend, and they were a HUGE help to get things set up!


 Cutting up food for the party

Party favors for the kids!

We found this cute mask and headband for Damaris to wear!

Kara and Dan trying it out

Too funny!!!

 Playing around before we get started 

 I know you can't see too well in this picture, but I thought the decorations turned out nice!

Last minute I realized it worked out perfect to write her name down the middle!

 Starting the party with food!




These were the favorites out of the party favors.  I was excited to find so much butterfly stuff!

So fun!

Time for gifts!!

 Reading cards

 Several of the kids made cards, which I thought was super cute!!!

 Watching Damaris open presents



We did our present last - a new bike!

She was excited!

Titus picked out a gift for Damaris, but we forgot it at home, so we opened it when we got back.

I love Titus's face - I think he was more excited to give the present than for Damaris to get it :)

 A new necklace - a butterfly!!
