Paisley's First Birthday Party



Space. The Final Frontier. Paisley had a great time "walking" around to all of her friends at her birthday party at the church building. Paisley, I mean Princess Leia, was soooo good on her special night. She was enthralled by all of the decorations and new food and all the people (about 47 attended). Her sister, Queen Amadala, had a blast as well. She kept posing for the camera with Mr. Fantastic (Kelton). Chewbacca (Jackson) and storm trooper (Sammuel) were cute but more camera shy. Daddy was good looking too in his Captain Kirk uniform. Mommy was just an officer on the Voyager.

Decorations and Party Favors. Everything glowed. We had balloons hanging from all over the tall ceiling with little glowing stars at the end of their ribbons. Marcy made a wonderful florescent paint Happy Birthday sign which glowed above the black light place on the food table. There were star headbands and glowing necklaces for all the guests. And the kids made their own creative constellations with glow in the dark stars. The interns did face painting. Mommy got an alien on her cheek and Aubry got a beautiful sun.

Food. The astroids were chicken nuggets and meatballs. The black holes were brigadeiros (Brazilian chocolate balls). The comets were the yellow streamer candies. The half moons were sliced apples. The stars were popcorn and the planets were the big round grapes. The UFOs were the hit of the party - cupcakes. And Princess Leia had her first bite of white confetti cupcake with white icing which she got all over herself and her Mommy.

We love you Paisley! Happy Early Birthday Sweet Heart! (We had to have it early so Tia Heder could come and so we wouldn't run into Sao Joao and World Cup madness next week). We're glad to have such a wonderful, happy go lucky, laid back, beautiful daughter as you! Piedade led a heart warming prayer and blessing over you with the lights out while everything was glowing and I was reminded of how much I have been blessed myself by having you.
