Margaret Gray's Birthday Party

We had a little snowgirl party to celebrate Margaret's 1st Birthday.
On Saturday night (a few weeks ago), we had family and a few friends come over.

Winter treats table
Snowflake cookies, Carrot nose cupcakes, Oreo snowballs, and S'mores


I found these cards on Etsy and fell in love with the little snowgirl.
Lucky for me, I've got my friend Amy who can create anything I ask.
Her talent came in handy for the invites and the cake topper.
Circuts are the best- thanks, Amy!

Fortunately, we had great weather.


Monthly pics hung on a tree


Party favors- everyone needs tissue!


Papa helped the birthday girl get ready for the party.... if only I had this on video!


Sweet godchild, Charlie... sporting a scarf I "made".

I love how Henry just showed up... made for a cute family pic.








Awkward:)...


...But these grandparent pics couldn't be any sweeter!






Notice anything strange about this pic?


:)


It was a great party!
Thanks to all who helped... whether it was taking pictures, grating cheese, or driving 5 hours with a sick child- we are so blessed with family and friends who love our sweet Margaret Gray.





The next day, we had our small group over for lunch after church... we thought- why not keep the party going?? :)

Just moved everything inside... since it decided to snow.
That's Texas weather for you!

Summers, Paxton, and Rebecca


Shaun showed off his coloring skills

Henry's masterpiece






It was a relaxing lunch with our church friends and we appreciate them joining us to celebrate MG's 1st year of life.
(Too bad by the time everyone left, the snow had stopped)

That night, Margaret enjoyed playing with all her new gifts!



A girl can never have too many bows :)






(Henry was very concerned that the cake was getting destroyed:) )
