January birthdays are hard!! I had to think of an indoor birthday party theme, have the invitations sent out before Christmas, birthday shopping amidst my Christmas shopping, and who feels like planning a party once the tedious job of putting away Christmas decorations is finally done? BUT I kept reminding myself how excited I would be to plan Sophie's birthday party if it was in the middle of the summer, and I pressed on.....this is what I came up with.
The invites:

Sophie warmed up to the idea of sledding, but she'd cover her eyes the whole way down. Lili was a champ, thanks to Rich dragging his legs/arms in the snow to keep them from going too fast.
It was a beautiful sunny day! Good? NO BAD! 1. There was no fresh snow, it hadn't snowed for days! 2. Everyone had the great idea of going sledding that day. 3. The snow was pure ice, and there were patches of grass everywhere. Oh well, we made the best of it.
Note to self: Don't plan a birthday party centered around the unpredictable weather.....
After sledding we went back to our house....
Snowman cupcakes, hot chocolate with all the fixings, and churros.
Things were kind of crazy with everyone crammed into our house. Sophie loves her new toys she got....and it's all over (which at this point I'm the most thankful for) until next year.

I need some Birthday party lessons from you!! The only thing we have ever done for Birthdays is go to the park and have a little dinner and some cake! You have the most darling ideas! You should make a birthday party planning book. I love the food that your served, very cute. Throw in a party planning class with every photo lesson class (:
