Jeremiah's First Birthday Winter Onderland

We were so excited about our baby turning 1. Typically we throw a big first birthday bash for all of our kids in our backyard at home. Howeve, since this was our first winter baby we needed to find a fabulous venue. I had seen this hall several years ago when my sister was looking for a reception hall. I remember falling in love with this one room. I knew it would be the perfect place for our party.

Coming up with a theme was something else I thought a lot about. Then I saw several of my friends mentioning a winter wonderland. I Googled it and so many ideas came up. I browsed for months before I finally got in my head exactly what I wanted it to look like.

We had some fabulous vendors that really worked hard to make my vision come true.
