Zoey is ONE!!!

 

On November 26th we were blessed with our 6 pound princess, Zoey Herzog. The moment I laid eyes on her I felt the love from our Heavenly Father who blessed us with our baby girl. Everyday I feel blessed to have a healthy, growing, and happy baby. You made me a mama, and I love you so unconditionally I could never put it into words. This past year plays in my mind like a movie, and I wish I could freeze time and do it all over again. Cheering you on for your first steps. Your baby feet, and little rolls on your legs. The way you get excited about playing with a new toy or seeing mama and dada. The way you squeal with excitement when I come get you after a nap. It truly is a joy to be your mother. You have made this year one of the happiest of my life. Happy FIRST birthday my sweet little adventurous Zoey.

First Birthday Party: Zoey Herzog

We celebrated our little girls special day with a "Once upon a time" princess themed birthday party! The party was at my family's house in Utah where several of our family and friends join to celebrate, and Zoey met her great grandparents on both sides for the first time.

 

Most of the decorations for Zoey's party I made, and got the ideas from Pinterest. The colors for her party were light pink, cream, and gold.

Zoey's princess cake was designed and made at Granite Bakery, and I loved how it turned out! The crown I bought online at http://www.bhldn.com/.

Zoey had two dresses and I loved them both. Gigi got the first one for her from Nordstroms, and the second one was from Target. Her crown is from a etsy shop lovecrushbowtique. 

After she got to visit with all of the guests, it was CAKE SMASH TIME!

She didn't know what to do with her cupcake, whether she should be eating it or not...it was so cute!

Now that she showed interested in the cupcake and started shoving it all into her mouth, the camera's came out!

At the end of the party, we all watched our little girl "open" her gifts. She loved helping rip the paper and seeing what was inside. It was adorable!
 

Thank you to our family and friends who came out to celebrate Zoey's FIRST birthday party. It was a special day, and we loved that you were apart of it. We are excited to see what this next year brings, and the milestones she will reach. We love you Zoey Herzog, and happy 1st birthday!
