All Things Birthday

So as much as I don't want it to come because I love being home with Alexis, I am slowly starting to prepare for her birthday. As I mentioned (I believe) earlier we have a whole "cupcake" theme going on. Derek and I watched her tonight however as she harassed the poor dog and cuddled with her Coco (stuffed dog she adores), we should have picked a dog theme, but there's always next year. Anyways ... so I've been really addicted to design blogs and party blogs these days, can't quite get enough of them. I've started to make some banners, and decorations - with the help of Martha Stewart.com of course. The amount of stuff I have gathered from here and there is quite considerable, and I've really tried to be ... frugal? But so far I'm very please with what I have, and what I have made. I think it will be a great party. She only turns one once ... and she is our first ... better do it up in style!
