Calla's First Birthday Party

We had Calla's first birthday party on March 22. The Sunday after her actual birthday (which was Saturday). The theme of the party was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." I got crafty--thanks pinterest--and made a few little decorations. (Nothing to stress myself out!) But I have to say I think it's the cutest birthday theme I've ever done--completely loved it!! 

We had a caterpillar "Watch me Grow" display. A caterpillar on her high chair. And a caterpillar spelling out her name on the cake table. Calla had an appliquéd caterpillar onesie. We also had a smash cake and cupcakes in the shape of a caterpillar. The rest of the decor stuck with the color theme--red, green, and yellow. 

Friends and family gathered to help us celebrate. All of Calla's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and first cousins were there. The kids had a great time playing. The highlight was definitely Calla digging into her smash cake--girl is an eater and she loved it! 

She wasn't too into her presents. She'd pull out some paper, then hand it to you and be done. Mommy helped her open. And then Augusta and Maddie assisted as well. Her favorite things she opened that day were her babydolls. She also loved the water table we got her--though we didn't try it out till much later! 

The mark of a good party is when everyone crashes afterwards. And guess what? That's exactly what the Goolsby's did! Hope you had fun little one--it was a great first birthday celebrating one of our favorite little girls!
