Haisley Turns 1

Haisley turned one! I can't believe it. My little girl had the first of many birthdays that will be a big deal around here. Most of my family came and Justin's parents came from out of town. We also had a ton of friends come to celebrate the big day. The theme was Minnie Mouse and I had a lot of fun finding themed decor and ideas. Even though Haisley won't remember this day, I hope she sees pictures and watches videos and knows how many people love her and wouldn't miss this big day for her in the world! Here are just a few of the pictures from her birthday. Thanks to all who came and brought so many presents. We are truly blessed!

Haisley's smash cake - Marshmallow Fondant with a Minnie Mouse gumpaste sculpture I made

This is her Minnie Mouse cake I made for her. So cute! I've been taking cake decorating classes and finally got to show off my new hobby. I took the classes so I could make her first birthday cake. I'm so glad I did. It was worth it!

Had to grab a pic with her before she dug in too much!

It didn't take long before she figured out it was sweet and yummy!
