Happy New Year ya’ll!!!
This Sweet Grily Pink 1st Birthday Luncheon was originally hosted by Heavenly Blooms.
——
This 1st birthday luncheon is one of those totally dreamy outdoor luncheons that any girl would want to attend. The colors and treats are sweet and the rose centerpieces are simply fabulous!
Enjoy the 1st birthday luncheon…..
The morning of the party the birthday girl patiently sat and played with her toys.
Kate the Birthday Girl!!!
Our hand crafted lollipops… made out of cardboard!
Kate with her big brother Charlie, Mommy & Daddy…
The proud Mama and her ONE year old baby girl…
The centerpieces were surrounded by mini floral cupcakes, which were given away as favors at the end of the party to the adults.
The kid’s table was set with fun activities and toys.
Fairy wings were hung on each little girl’s chair.
Kate’s monthly baby pictures were displayed so guests could see how she’s changed over the year.
Me and My Kate…
We hand painted each pot with polka dots and glitter.
The cupcake stand was accented with pink ribbon bows and a tulle skirt.
Kate’s Mom made her birthday hat to coordinate with the party.
She loved her cupcake!
And she also loved playing her little cake too!
Her big brother Charie playfully pushed her face into the cake. Thankfully the birthday girl thought it was funny too!
We dressed up her high chair with tulle tutu and ribbon.
The lollipops were placed around the guest tables.
There weren’t any planned activities or games because the guests were so little. Instead we had fairy wings and wands for them to run around with. As well as a little play tent with plastic balls.
Charlie, our little helper for the day, shows off his muscles.
Happy 1st Birthday my beautiful Kate!!!

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
