A Hip Hoppin' Good Time

"Hop on over for lunch and some fun. Our little bunny is turning one!"

Thus began Frances' bunny-themed first birthday! In lieu of a traditional birthday party hat, Frances opted for some gussied-up bunny ears! She actually enjoyed wearing them.


You may recall that Easter is one of my favorite holidays, so it wasn't hard to round up some party decor for this middle of the summer soiree. Aunt Mak scouted out these adorable rabbit topiaries at Pier One back in April. Thankfully, I had already chosen the party theme at that point, so I stocked up while they were on sale. Flowers were courtesy of Tula's front flower beds.


I couldn't resist adding some cabbages and carrots to the decorative mix!


I saw this adorable felt banner on Etsy and decided I would make one for myself. Very easy and so cute!

Some bunny ears for the guests...

The menu consisted of salads, lots and lots of salads--chicken salad, pasta salad, corn salad, Oriental coleslaw, fruit salad and pink fluff! There was also pork tenderloin with jezebel sauce and yummy party punch!

And the cake, oh, the cake! I was very pleased with how it turned out!

Tissue pom poms and a string of photos from each of Miss Frances' 12 months.



I think Miss Frances enjoyed her cake too!!! She was digging in before her brother and sister could help her blow out her candle:)



Hoping to have a post with all the details and how to's along with some recipes!
