i have to say niya's first birthday party was pretty freakin awesome. since its a couple days before halloween, naturally we had to have a costume party. what better than to do a disco theme. its no secret that i kind of love costumes, and dressing up. this couldn't have been more fun!
me and drews costumes came from the thrift store
i made niyas jumpsuit out of a nasty polyester dress from the thrift store. its not easy to find disco costumes for babies. her shoes also came from the thrift store spruced up with a little spray paint. for the belt i hot glued mardi gras beads on some felt
voila!
we had lots of friends and family show up.
i couldn't have been more impressed with the costume efforts
way to go people!!
that morning me and my mom spent hours making cup cakes. they turned out really cute and really pretty yummy
i had been working on teaching niya how to blow so that she could blow out her first candle. she
learned how to blow but got nervous with the crowd watching her so she crumbled under pressure
she did, however, love eating the cake
she got so many cute presents! and she actually loved sitting there opening every single one
she especially loved the shopping cart that grandma lisa gave her
i worked really hard making all the party decor. the pictures don't really do it justice
the birthday banner i made out of 12 old records. on every record was a picture for every month of her life
i also glued every stinkin sequin on that disco ball
i thought all my hard work paid off. the party was a huge success
it was so worth it
niya should have been born in the 70's.
she looks pretty awesome with an afro
Pretty groovy! :-)
