Planning my sweet girl's Birthday!

My sweet baby girl will be one in less than 2 months. This means I am now in full party planning mode. Today we had her pictures taken in her 1st birthday outfit. She looked amazing. Here are some of the MANY pictures...











So far i have planned a Rubbery Ducky Pool party...(since her only favorite thing besides Gerber Peach Puffs is to be in water!) I picked light pink and yellow colors. I am making the invites myself... (with help from my cricut of course). For food I'm doing all thing Maddi loves: Watermelon, Goldfish, Cheerios in decorated baby food jars labeled "Duck Feed". For favors I'm going bubbles, bubble bath, a rubber duck and washcloth. For decorations I found a variety of fun rubber ducks like princess ones, pink ones with a number 1 on them, etc. These will be swimming in the pool.
I have some other great ideas but I don't want to give all of them away just yet... But I would love some other great ideas!!!


On a side note I would love to thank everyone who participated in Friendship Friday again this week... I had over 4200 Page views, got 63 more followers (which out me over 500!!!) and reached over 100 fans on facebook! Thank you so much to all of my readers! I would love to meet each and every one of you so please introduce yourself!!! I try to visit everyone at some point ... Also If you are interested in being featured on next Weeks Friendship Friday please let me know!

I love the pics! :) She's so adorable! You have been putting together a lot of great ideas! I love the "duck feed". One more idea that my aunts did for my shower was a plastic duck tub filled with ice. They put the drinks in it, and people could just come get what they wanted. Can't wait to see the after pics. We're planing a mermiad party for my soon to be 3 year old DD. :) She's in love with them.
