Stevie’s First Birthday

Ben and I have been parents for nearly 9 years now. NINE. wow!
And in those 9 years we have celebrated 14 birthdays between our 3 kids.
14 birthdays but only a few actual birthday parties. I’m not exactly sure why.
Perhaps it’s because so far, our boys have been content with a small celebration, homemade boxed cake and pizza with family.

But this year was different.

This year our baby girl was celebrating her 1st birthday and the boys wanted a party.
Relatively last minute I threw together a 1st birthday inspired by our favorite place to visit as a family–Mexico.
My grandmother is Mexican and something happens when I visit that makes me feel like I’m home.
And Stevie has already been twice this past year…so Fiesta birthday it was!

She wasn’t happy when we took away her cake.
