the party

eden is 1!

Eden's party was last night, and our house was full of family and close friends that came to celebrate :)

Eden absolutely loved her birthday outfit.

Jess from polkadots and pirates sent us the adorable tutu and the hat and bib are from Rachel of goldenshop. These two are friends and team up on projects, their collaborations are perfection!
