Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Ruby! What a year for her to grow up in, am I right!? She brought laughter and joy into our lives during the year we needed it most. I am grateful she chose me to be her mother!

I decided to throw her a Bunny themed party to go along with her Nursery design. I am in love with how it turned out and I can’t wait to show you all the fun details!

For her main table decor I wanted to incorporate blush, pink and gold colors.

We used pink pampas grass, gold fans, and rose gold serving ware.

The moss and floral water color on her cookies is my favorite part!

I attempted to make a cotton candy punch to serve to my guests… But cotton candy is very difficult to work with! My goal was to have large fluff balls of cotton candy on the drink… well it dissolved too fast!

The drink tasted yummy though!

Ingredients:
Raspberry Lemonade
7up
Pineapple Juice

Her cake was made out of fondant. You are able to find Vegan fondant from the brand Wilton.

The inside of her cake was lemon with a coconut filling!

To off set the sweetness of cake, cookies and punch, I served individual hummus + veggie cups.

Chile Lime hummus
Skewer of cherry tomatoes
Slices of bell peppers, cucumbers and radishes
Garnished with parsley

We rented a giant #1 light from Alpha Lit Salt Lake City

Blown out of Proportions made her 5ft custom garland and giant standing balloon.

It was the perfect backdrop for her cake smash and to open presents.

I included a stat chart of where she is currently! Its amazing how fast time flew and that she is already walking!

Throughout the past 12 months I captured her mostly milestones along with whatever fruit was in season. Around 8 months it started getting more difficult to take her photo because she was so interested in eating the fruit or rolling around. I love looking back and seeing how much she has changed each month.

I believe 4 months was one of my favorite stages.

Ruby's Baby Blessing

May 29, 2020 MEGAN ROBERTS

A new life has joined our family, and today we are here to celebrate baby Ruby’s birth and to officially bless, name and welcome her to our family. This gathering is a celebration of love, and of life! Ruby is new and perfect, she is a gift. Her smile, her laughter, and her presence enrich the lives of all who know her. Only 3 months old, and already she has made the world a better place. We are here to acknowledge that children are the greatest gift and most blessed responsibility bestowed upon a family.

Meaning of the name RUBY

Ruby is a predominantly feminine given name taken from the name of the gemstone ruby.

The ruby is known as a protective stone that can bring happiness and passion into the life of the wearer. The ruby is also believed to protect the wearer from negative entities that leach positive energy, promoting spiritual vitality and wellness overall.

Sean and I invited our family over to witness her blessing. Because of COVID-19 we kept the party to a group of 20, as mandated by the governor of Utah. I was saddened to not be able to extend the invitation out to all of our family and friends, but am grateful for the opportunity to have a small gathering.

Ruby’s Blessing day was a very special occasion, it marked the first family gathering since the Coronavirus pandemic hit.

Being able to see our nearest and dearest family members meant so much to us!

For the food I decided to create a PARFAIT BAR!

A yogurt bar is clutch for brunch or any party setting because it allows your guests to customize their parfait and they get to keep mingling while they do it. 

I made labels so the guests knew which toppings were which.

  • Non Dairy yogurt: Vanilla flavor from KITE HILL

  • Fresh fruit: Strawberries, blueberries, & sliced bananas

  • Nuts: Almond slivers

  • Granola: Bear Naked Granola Fit Vnilla Almond

  • Sweets: mini dark chocolate chips & shredded coconut

I also served my famous VEGAN BANANA BREAD.

My mother also made Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed and Strawberry Chocolate muffins.
