Sofia's birthday party..over a month later

I guess I forgot to post her birthday party. Sorry. It was fun. It was hot. It was exhausting. I am glad we did it for her in the end.  Daphne Lafosse photographed the party and all of the pictures posted are hers. She is wonderful and very sweet. If you are looking for a photographer, check out her website.

Sofia dancing before the guests arrived.

Favors. The buckets held sidewalk chalk, punch balloon, bubbles, beach ball, and a sports water bottle.  Everything was from Micheal's but the punch balloon. I got them in a package from Target.

Food. We had  sammies from Costco. They were awesome! I pinned tulle around the table and added a trim to hide the pins.

I made the banner. It had a front and back. Both sides said the same thing.

I saw this idea somewhere and Pinned it. It now hangs on Sofia's bedroom door.

We had just finished taking pictures with the "ONE" when guest arrived. Sofia went down the walkway to meet them.

Sofia had an outfit change into an traditional ao dai to select her future.

Vietnamese and other Asian cultures have the child turning one select items that indicait what he/she will have a career in. Sofia picked the thermometer. She is going into the medical field.

I made her smash cake.

We tried to get her to eat some of the cake but she just wanted to play.

She was so messy Grandma was reluctant to hold her.

Cake for everyone. We got it from Costco. Friends said it was yummy.

The pull pinata I made.

It didn't work so well. I think I added too many layers. I had to dump out the contents. It was funny.

Sofia's Venezuelan friends, Landon and Nicolas. Well..half Venezuelan like her.

I still can't believe this many people were at the party.

Our family at ONE.
