Tia Mowry-Hardrictpulled out all the stops for daughterCairo Tiahna‘s first birthday.
“I was so excited about coming up with the theme of Cairo’s first birthday party,” she shared, adding that before she decided to have a backyard bash at her own home, she was planning on celebrating at a “fun play center.”
To complete the theme, Mowry-Hardrict filled her backyard with low tables and floor seating, aswell as plenty of teepeesfor the kids to play in — which was one of the biggest hits of the whole party.
“The kids just loved thee teepees,” she shared of the party’s younger guests, which included her and husbandCory Hardrict‘s older child: sonCree Taylor, who turns 8 next month.

As an extra-special surprise for her daughter, who absolutely loves mermaids, the mother of two even had a live mermaid at the party, who swam around in the pool and gave the birthday girl a sweet bracelet from her box of treasure.
But her favorite part of the party had to be theflower-crown station.
“Cairo and myself, we had matching flower crowns, and I was actually shocked my daughter kept this crown on her head almost the whole party,” Mowry-Hardrict shared, revealing that she would be drying out the crowns to keep as souvenirs of the lovely moment.

Starting things off, Cairo wore an adorablepom-pom-trimmed purple romperfrom Janie and Jack, which she paired witha matching cardiganfeaturing a white bow and a sweet scalloped design around the edges. Bringing the outfit together, the birthday girl wore awhite bow headbandand a pair ofmetallic scalloped sandals, both of which were also from Janie and Jack.
“And then later on, when it was time to cut the cake, she got into this really cute — I don’t even know what to call it,” she continued, referring to the adorable chiffon-covered dress Cairo changed into, which came complete with a pair of chiffon-covered ballet flats.
However, there was one part of the festivities her daughterdidn’t seem that into: her smash cake. “She didn’t want anything to do with the smash cake. She literally looked at it like, ‘What is this?’ She’s too much of a lady to smash into a cake,” joked the star. “But my son, on the other hand, Cree? He dove into that on his first birthday.”
“Happy 1st Birthday Cairo!!! Auntieloves you so much. Can’t wait to see what many adventures we will have! Already a fashionista, and your party was epic,” she wrote.

“People always ask, ‘How’s the dynamic with your sister’s kids and your kids?’ and I’m like, ‘You guys, it is something that isso beautiful and wonderful to watch,’ ” she shared. “There is just so much love.”
