Happy 1st Birthday, Baby A!

Hey Lovebugs! Today I bring you Baby A's birthday party!! We had her big celebration last Saturday with 80 of our nearest and dearest, including my lovely friend Maria (who I didn't get a picture with!). Well, I didn't get ANY pictures at all because I forgot my camera at home!! With all the things I had to do, bringing a camera slipped my mind. No worries though, I stole all the pictures my family took. Some even have a date stamp on them! ;) We had her celebration at a community center near my parents house. The place in on the river, so the views outside are beautiful. The weather was in the 60's so we even spent time outside and had all the windows open.
Food table: wraps, chips, dips, hummus, raw veggies.
Baby A had this huge balloon on her high chair.
Our little family, all in pink!
Me, My sister, Baby A and our good friend Erica.
Baby A loved the balloons!
Enjoying time with her family and friends!
This was the big salad that my Mother-in-law made. I had mine without croutons, although they were vegan (but not gluten free).
Raw veggies and hummus!
My plate of salad, raw veggies and hummus.
Vegan/Gluten Free Lasagna my sister made. This is so amazing! You must try the recipe!
And of course, CAKE! We had a vegan cake made at Whole Foods! As you can see, it turned out beautiful! The cake was not gluten free, and I did have a slice. I felt a little off the next day, but thankfully, nothing too bad.
T, Me and Baby A blowing out the candles.
Baby A didn't have any cake (no sugar for her!), but she did have a special treat (that she LOVED!): I blended a date, an avocado and carob powder. As you can see, she had it all over her face! Happy Baby!!!


What a beautiful time she had. I love celebrating birthdays, and although she won't remember it, I will always know that her celebration was a very special day for all of us. <3

Thanks so much for sharing those cute pics with us. I can't believe she's 1 year old already. Her and Kristen's daughter look like they could be related. I think it's the hair.

I think it's awesome you resisted the whole "my kid must have sugar/cake on her birthday" pressure. My sister was getting shit about it when her daughter was only 6 months old! What a supportive family to make that vegan food for you all to enjoy. I know more than one of you is vegan so that helps. Happy Birthday, baby A!
