Presley turns •O N E•

On October 1st of 2013 God gave us a baby girl who was PERFECT (still is) 

 

She was definitely a surprise and we were not 100% prepared for the way our lives would change but we are so happy they did! Each day we fall more and more in love with her and learn new things EVERY day! 

We celebrated her first birthday October 4th and I wanted to share it with y'all ;) 


Her crown is from a shop called Londy Lou on Etsy and the girl that makes them can customize them to fit your needs and wants! 


Her cookies were AMAZING y'all! They were yummy and so cute! I received lots of compliments! Briar Garcia out of Lubbock, TX made them and she is so talented and can do any theme you need! She is on Facebook and Instagram! 


Her invitations were also ordered off Etsy from a shop called Trendy Butterfly! She had all kinds of formats to choose from and you have the choice of printing them on your own or having her print them for you. Very cute and affordable :) 


Her "Birthday Babe" onesie was ordered from a shop called Lola and Darla! They have TONS of cute clothing! Most of it has glitter on it like this birthday onesie but it actually stays on through the washer and dryer and isn't irritating to the touch! 



Alicia Junod out of Lubbock, TX took our maternity, newborn, and one year pictures and she is awesome! She will even drive to Plainview if need be! So talented and fun to work with. She is always so patient with Presley when it comes to trying to get a good picture and truly enjoys what she does! Christmas is just around the corner and her hot chocolate mini sessions sell fast! Contact her on her Facebook to book an appointment! 

Her cake was really cute and very good! I probably should have ordered a smaller size but--- it was from united and they did a GREAT job :) and obviously cheaper than most places. Especially since they will just smash it up anyways! Her highchair was mine from when I was a baby and my sweet mom was nice enough to paint it this very pretty pink color called "pale pink" from Mccoy's. Turned out great! 


I always joke and say my mom is a mild hoarder but it turns out her hoarding tendencies come in handy! She used this rocking chair for all 3 of us and had it painted by our cousin Leigh Ann Bradley! She paints all kinds of stuff! She can be contacted on Facebook under the name "Leigh Ann Lawson Bradley" she's very talented! 

All of these wonderful things we were blessed with were very cute but of course they are just materialistic. What's most important to us is that we have had Presley in our lives. This past year has been so life changing to all of us. That sounds so clichè and I know that but it truly is LIFE CHANGING to have a baby. She is the absolute light of our lives and we love her so very much.
