Happy Birthday to my sweet gal!

so finally here's the recap--we worked off of a grey+pink+yellow scheme, subtle polka-dot theme (without being too theme-y) and wanted lots of crafted details. So that's what we did. It was low key and we just played at the pool and picnic-ed on saturday! lots of fun. we still cannot believe this little gal is ONE.
