***Warning…long post and TONS of pictures to follow!***
We finished up Sophie’s birthday weekend with a wonderful party with family and friends. We decided on a fun Rainbow Brite theme (vintage 80s, of course). Tricia and I loved Rainbow Brite growing up and it was so fun looking for ways to decorate for the party. I was amazed at how much I was able to find on eBay from the 80s…in the original packaging nonetheless!
I was even able to find a retired Wilton cake pan!! Tricia and I worked on icing this cake for hours!! It turned out fairly well but had so much frosting on it that we just used it for looks rather than having anyone eat it.
The morning of the party was super busy since we had lots to set up, but we were able to sit down for some family pics before all the guests arrived :) 
One of my favorite parts of the party was the rainbow candy buffet! We had rainbow lollipops, gummi bears, saltwater taffy, skittles and rainbow licorice! 
Everyone also loved the display of the monthly pictures of Sophie’s first year! It was so fun to see how Sophie changed every month.
Sophie looked adorable in her Rainbow Brite skirt (which I found on Etsy!) and rainbow striped baby legs.
Sophie was so blessed to celebrate with over 60 of our closest family and friends. It was so wonderful to have so many people there who have played a part in her first year of life.
Some more shots of family and friends… 
Next up…cake!!!
Ok, I guess I’ll dig in!
And grandma too :)
Sophie was spoiled rotten with lots of great presents from everyone. She had a great time opening them all up!
We all had such a great time celebrating Sophie’s 1st birthday!! We’re thrilled that so many of our family and friends were able to join us on such a special day :)
