Aliza's First Birthday, Teddy Bear Theme

 Aliza's first birthday happened this past weekend over on the island and well we decided to have some fun with it. It was a small party my immediate family and then my sister-in-law's family which ended up being 14 people plus the little ones on my sister-in-law's side.

My sis (S.I.L - can I do that? refer to her as S.I.L. = sister in law) organized all the food, co-ordinating with both families - my parents hosted the party at their home, and I --- decorated! Heck yes, I went to pink teddy bear heaven and never came back. I knew it was going to be an adult party (other then the 3 little ones including Aliza) so why not have some fun with it. I love dinner parties!! If only I was good at cooking, I see why I didn't manage the food now...




These teddy bear quotes hang from the dinning light saying 
"Teddy bears don't need hearts they are already stuffed with love"

Each child was given a teddy bear with their names on it and a lyric from the Teddy Bear Picnic song

My favourite part I think was the little tree's which are now sitting in my home, can't wait till i get to trim them into shapes (thanks phillips body groom for her ads).

she learned "hug" recently

Aliza says: "But daddy where is my red convertible like on sweet 16?" - actually it was more like a squeak "ba ba, ba ba"





Yum! Aliza's gluten-free cupcakes especially for her.

"that was delicious, gimme more..."

my gift to Aliza, a kitty winter jacket fully equipt with tail. heck yes, aunty gets the fun outfits that are white... hello oxyclean!
