Keeping in Teutsch





Juliette got a Warhawks tattoo, but she was smudged the head off of it. It was still cute, though!


We took Juliette to the first home football game at ULM (University of Louisiana at Monroe) Thursday night, which just happened to be broadcast on ESPN 2, so they made a big deal about it. Juliette was dressed in an old school ULM cheerleading outfit, meaning it said "Indians" instead of "Warhawks," but we didn't care... She looked sooo cute, as you can see. She enjoyed the action and people watching, as well as the music.

"That was fun!"


The final damage!



The first taste of cake.

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Juliette.

The dog house that I made out of cardboard. (Zoe is our dog's name.) The premise was that people were supposed to set their gifts around it, and there were stuffed dogs sitting around it too, but Juliette just kept moving all the dogs, and it appears, in this picture, that people just randomly sat down gifts (although I did straighten everything up later). The "doghouse project" was a last minute addition. The little kids seemed to like it, though!


Professional pics of Juliette during the first year...set up in the foyer.


A table (not sure what to call this!) that had the favors, pictures and a slide show of Juliette throughout the first year set to music. We also had a little Happy Birthday dog that everybody signed. (And my homemade Happy Birthday sign since I couldn't find just a solid pink one.)


Juliette's little cake.


The cake.

Juliette's seat!

The cake table.


The spread...dog themed of course. Some dog-bone shaped sandwiches, puppy chow, mini corn dogs, mini hot dogs and some of the food, as you can see, was in dog bowls!


The party favors for the kids. These included a small stuffed dog, "The Pokey Little Puppy" book, dog stickers, and a dog-shaped cookie.


The party favors for the adults...dog bone shaped cookies that I made. (Again, time consuming. Not sure if I'll do that again either, but they were a hit!)


Paw prints (in sidewalk chalk) lead guests to the front door.

I handmade the invitations (it took a while). The premise, as you can see, is to pull the tongue out to read the invite. Everyone thought they were cute, although I probably won't be handmaking invitations again...it took A LOT of work.


Juliette's 1st birthday party was on Saturday, August 25th at my brother's house. The theme was dogs, since she loves them so much and she said "woof, woof" A LOT during the party. We had about 30-35 guests (I lost count) and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I really had fun planning it!!
