Welcome to Ellie's Pie Shoppe
Let's start off with what the adorable invites looked like. Are they not just the cutest thing ever?! I love the Pie Tastin' and Good Time Makin' part. As well as adding Ellie's Interest so people would know what she was in to. All thanks to the designer for that idea.
Then we have the front door to Ellie's Shoppe. I loved the Southern-ness of a Pie Party.
Ellasyn's fabric wreath. I am obsessed with fabric. I don't know why I just love the raggy look.
We decided to give away Pie Pops as our favor. I liked this idea because everyone could enjoy one. It wasn't something just for the kids but for the adults too. We placed it next to our front door thinking people would grab one on their way out. But no one did. So for future reference we will place them in a more predominate area.
Ellie's wooden high chair I found for such a steal. I also made her hat. With more fabric, of course. But I didn't have the stretchy band that is around most party hats I instead used ribbon with the assumption that I could tie it around her neck. Boy, was that a hot mess. It did not work so this hat went to waste.
Our food table. I used fake pallets of grass to give it the picnic feel. We have pulled pork sandwiches, cornbread salad, broccoli cauliflower salad, Cole slaw, fruit in waffle cones, pigs in blankets, and popcorn chicken for all the kiddo's.
Her Pie Tastin dessert table. With 6 different kinds of yummy pies to try.
Here is what confused me. The whole opening presents in front of everyone when my 1 year old could care less. I mean she doesn't show enthusiasm she's 1. She has no idea whats going on. So here I sit getting ignored by her and trying to be excited about a Minnie Mouse ball. In the future we will not open presents during the party. Sorry if that's wrong but it annoys me. Either your kid doesn't care of you have 15 other annoying children doing it for her.
She did love the Minnie Mouse ball. For a whopping total 20 seconds. Record Breaking I say!
Moving onto bigger items like her toy car which she lives in. She refuses to ever get out and just sits and screams until someone pushes her.
Smash Pie time. This was the only homemade thing on the table and it really wasn't even that homemade. I poured the contents out of a can. Yes!! I bought all frozen pie's. Like I actually bake. Puh-lease!
I was afraid she looked like a boy. She had on pink bloomers but you cant see them so I had to add the most obnoxious bow I could find.
And Wah-Lah here is was. She loved eating the pie.
Feeding mommy and daddy.

All in all it was a good party. We had so much fun! I want to thank everyone for coming out and celebrating with us. I cant believe our little angel is 1. This years has flown by. I hope the next 17 do as well because I'm ready for this chick to move out. Hahaha I'm kidding, sort of:)
Today I am a wife, mother, and mother to a toddler.
Keep Chasing Those Fireflies!!
P.S. Look for a blog name change coming soon!
