How can it be that the sweet baby celebrating her first birthday with a smash cake in this photo is the same four and a half year old that is sleeping upstairs right now?
I just don’t know.
We went to a birthday party this afternoon and it left me reminiscent of our own birthday celebrations.
Birthdays are a big deal in our family and we try our best to make them special without going over the top.
I remember each of my children’s first birthday with such fondness.
Jenny’s first birthday was celebrated with a rainbow cake with super bright colors.
The thoroughly enjoyed her own little cake as you can see in this photo. She was covered in pink icing and absolutely loved it!
I really enjoy going back to scrap pictures like this. The event of her birthday was already scrapped in a Project Life layout, but what I really love is going back to look at the extra special details of a particular event.
In this instance I decided to focus on the detail of her cake smash.
In part, I was inspired by this birthday themed kit by One Little Bird. The colors and the theme of the kit were so perfect for scrapping this moment!
I love the template that I used for this layout because of the many paper layers and realistic paper-y feel.
Do you celebrate first birthdays with a smash cake?
