My Vintage Valentine

It was a Post Valentine and birthday celebration of Lara. I invited over a my bestfriends kids to join Summer and have a mini pictorial. I made everything in one day, baked the goodies, made the decorations and set all in one day. It was just a small set up, I just wanted it do a Valentine dessert table. 

I got ideas from Raising Up Rubies, Creative breathing and Freeprettythingsforyou

 printables from Freeprettythingsforyou

 I baked these simple vanilla cupcakes!

And of course Photos of the cute kids...

Just to give you a background every year our family comes up with different themes for Christmas, we first had Happy HoliDenims in 2010, Hippie Holidays in 2011. And for 2012 we didn't plan for any theme until the day before Christmas. I dreamed about the theme and just asked everyone to dress in something colorful and all the props will be on me. The theme was Children's party. 

 All the decorations were bought from a nearby bookstore, the rest a stuff in our home.

The backdrop that worked very well with the theme was a blanket as well as the tablecloth. And the cutest props of all is Summer.

What was your theme last Christmas?

This is my first time to write about my baby girl, that means more that 1 year has passed since the last time I posted on my blog. Well, Hello everyone meet my daughter Summer Lily. Having a child changes your life in so many ways, it takes up most of your time, your sleep, your money, hahah! But I can say that it is all worth it! She is everything I prayed for and more, she has spunk at the same time lovable. 

Marvin and I wanted to let you in on our journey, we want to show you how we look forward to taking pictures of her every 30th of the month and see how she is growing up from looking like a small, tiny, fragile thing into a big, chubby, goofy 1 year old.

This is my Mom's favorite, she said that Summer looks like an old person here.

Summer is beginning to look like Summer now, you get what i mean?

She is a little too big for her age.
