"So Big" now that she is 1
Harper opened up her presents from Adam and I on Saturday, her actual birthday (9/11). She got her very own Elmo cell phone and a little baby Elmo - complete with a pacifier, bib, diaper and a blanket. Sometimes Harper likes to think Elmo's pacifier is her own :)
As you know, the theme of the party was cupcakes! My mom made Harper her very own cupcake to smash. Harper was very dainty and didn't really make a mess or smash the cupcake. She pretty much just dipped her fingers in the frosting and licked it off. This made for a much easier clean up!
Another cupcake made my Grandma Dawn
We also bought Harper her very own chair. We've had lots of people ask where we purchased the chair - so FYI we ordered it online from Pottery Barn Kids. It comes in different colors and fonts for embroidering. Personalization is free! I believe it's called an 'Anywhere Chair.'
Harper got lots of great presents for her birthday, including: money, winter clothes and PJ's, sippy cups, books, bath toys, Leap Frog train, Caterpillar, and birthday cake, Crazy Coupe car, Fisher Price vacuum. We also asked everyone to bring a thoughtful item to put in her time capsule for Harper to open up on her 16th birthday. Adam and I bought Harper a Sapphire necklace ( her birthstone) to put in the capsule and we also put in her 'coming home from the hospital' outfit. Other things that were added to the capsule include: scrapbooks, newspapers, letters, cards, pictures, etc. We had everyone fill out a questionnaire that asked them to predict what Harper will be like when she turns 16. I can't wait until September 11, 2025!
Thank you to all our family that made the trip to Clarion to help celebrate our precious little cupcake turning ONE! Harper is very blessed to have such a great family that loves her unconditionally! More pictures of the family to come soon...
