Our little pumpkin is turning ONE!!!

My sweet Kate Emerson turned 1 on Saturday and we celebrated with friends and family at one of our neighborhood parks/pavilion.  We could not have been blessed with a more perfect weather forecast.  My theme was pumpkin, sentimentally because when I was pregnant Sydney would ask me every day when her baby sister would be here and I always told her "When the pumpkins are ready", and because I am currently obsessed with all things pumpkin!


 We had YUMMY pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese icing, rice krispie treats with and without candy corn, Cheetos balls, veggies and dip, and mallow pumpkins.  I also made the table runner so every fall I can pull it out and remember Kate's first birthday.
 Her little smash cake was a beautiful pumpkin
 Thank you to Somer Clark Day for the personalized pumpkin (she named this the Kelly Stamps bow-head pumpkin for those of you who read Kelly's Korner)
 AND a huge thanks to Aunt Erin and Gigi who helped set up!
 Each child got to pick a little pumpkin to decorate with face stickers to take home and enjoy this fall.
 Kate's invitations had this polka dot pumpkin and Dayle helped me create a sign as you walked up to the pavilion.
