Harper’s first birthday party was ALL about HER and featured all of her “Favorite Things”! Her number 1- no question about it- favorite thing as a one-year-old was her little collection of elephants. So they obviously became a major element in her birthday party, appearing both on the top of her sprinkle smash cake as well as on the birthday parade fabric I bought to use as a table cloth for the dessert table. I also decorated the space with pinwheels and balloons- more favorites!

+ FIRST BIRTHDAY GIFTS
Her birthday was the perfect time to transition her to some “big girl” toys. We filled a wagon full of some of her favorite things, including new books, a music set, and balloons. This Radio-Flyer wagon is one of my favorite first birthday gifts because it can be used as a functional push-along toy both indoors and outdoors for new little walkers who love to collect things along their way.

And after all that, her favorite gift was, of course, this walk-with-me elephant balloon 🙂
