ellie's first birthday: little indian

I started planning Ellie's first birthday when she was three months old. I know. I. Am. A. Planner. I started to go through the whole pink thing/vintage tea party...but then I was inspired to do something more colorful and fun than that. I absolutely love this Southwestern/Aztec trend that has been going on for some time, so I began pinning anything and everything "Indian". I made all of the decorations and enjoyed every bit of it! The party was utter chaos, but super cute!
