We had Amelia's party this weekend and it was great. Her Gramma {my mother in law} got into town {from Reno} on Friday night to join in the festivities and we gad a fantastic visit.

Saturday was a bit hectic. Amelia had caught that cold of mine and was pretty miserable and had a slight {100} fever. Cheyenne and I left her with Gramma in the morning while we frantically ran around town taking care of last minute errands. We decided to skip music class {always sad to do} since little miss was already running on little to no patience. Let me tell you, I don't know what I would have done without that extra pair of hands to take care of Amelia {thank you Renee!} because setting up the dessert table took longer than i had thought!

Speaking of the dessert table, even though these photos don't do it justice {someday I'm going to enroll Cheyenne in a photography 101 class or just forbid him from hijacking the camera} it turned out amazing! We had strawberries & cream cupcakes, French macaroons {in cinnamon and blueberry flavors}, vanilla meringue cookies, sugar cookies with fondant monograms, milk in old fashioned milk bottles, and a smash cake {carrot} for the birthday girl with color coordinated saltwater taffy for favors.

We had the exact perfect amount of guests {10} so that we didn't overwhelm Amelia. Even though she wasn't feeling great she put on a great show for her guests making sure to ham it up while opening gifts or destroying her cake and zooming around in her tutu. It was just what I wanted for her first birthday {minus the sniffles} and we had so much fun. That being said - Sunday night after the house was empty and the baby was in bed i took a nice hot bath and breathed for the first time in 3 days and it felt wonderful!
