Stella's 1st Birthday Party was a day I will never forget! A lot of hard work and preparation was put into this party (and to be honest, I don't think I will ever do a party this extravagant again) but it was worth it in the end. I had so much fun putting together every little detail, and I'm very happy with how it turned out!
Hopefully most of these pictures speak for themselves. Prepare for picture overload!

(As a side note: I am so ridiculously mad at myself. I don't know why, but I don't have pictures of a few VERY important people who were at this party. Whether I just didn't take their picture, or they were deleted from my camera, I don't know. But Erin, Heidi, Jason, and my mom and dad - you were NOT unnoticed! We were so thankful to have you there! Also, in the craziness of this day, we never got a photo of Stella, Josh, and I together. Can someone please teach me how to take pictures?!)
Not so sure about this cake...
First taste...
Getting the hang of it...
It took a minute, but she eventually loved it and dove right in!
Josh and I are so grateful to everyone who was able to take time out of their busy lives to come support Stella, and for your generous gifts, food, etc. Also, a special thanks to my parents who let us completely take over their basement and help put all of this together. This girl was totally spoiled! We couldn't be happier with the family and friends who constantly show how much they love and care for us!
I still can't believe my teeny tiny Stella girl is growing into a toddler! Love her oh so much!
