So I have been horrible about blogging but I figure if anything deserves an entry it is a first birthday party. We had Emma's party last weekend which was a few days before her actual birthday on the 17th. It was a small gathering in our apartment but it was perfect. I decided on a hungry caterpillar theme after looking for ideas on Pinterest and I was very happy with how it turned out. All of the ideas (decorations/cake) all came from Pinterest so I can't take any credit for creativity.
Here is a shot of the birthday girl in her hungry caterpillar onesie:
All of the food and decorations were inspired by the book:
