a ONE-derful year with a ONE-derful kid,
who is growing and changing and barely fits in her crib!
she's grown her own teeth. learned to crawl and is walking.
before we know it stella will be talking.
join to celebrate 12 months of ONE-derful stella,
before we welcome a new little fella.

I desperately wanted to celebrate Stella's 1st birthday before her brother arrived. The least we could do. I commissioned Noelle to write a poem for the invitation. By commissioned, I mean asked nicely. We drafted up a classy evite. I scoured the internet and found several easy ideas to copy. Family came to town. Basic decorations were planned. We highlighted a few favorites on the Patsy's menu and over-bought presents (guilt will do that to you). And then Anton showed up.
So on the night of my discharge we threw together a little celebration. My mother made the most glorious cakes. Jason's mother cleaned our apartment and wrapped gifts. Jason got balloons. I showed up. We ate Patsy's and unwrapped presents. Stella was in heaven. That's what counts at a birthday party, right?
Watch your inboxes next March. Next year I'm going all out on the birthday celebration(s). Complete with theme.
We love you, Stellie!
We love you, Stellie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Stella!! Wow- what a lady to throw together a party with everything else going on... I"m impressed!
You're amazing, Erica! And you did it. Two kids and a birthday party. We love Stella too.
Happy Birthday little Stella! We've been thinking about you all. xoxo
Any chance you can mail me some of that Patsy's? TIA.
Yes, you are the best "super mom" and "super dad". And Stellie is the best "super one year old big sister". Wouldn't have missed those two days with her for anything - she lights up our world.
P.s. Love the poem Noelle
Happy (belated) birthday to our friend Stella! I can't believe you even attempted a party with the craziness you have going on in your life and it turned out darling! Hope you are all settling in well at home and that Stella is adjusting well. :)
