Best first birthday party ever! 

DeAnna Pappas Stagliano and husband Stephen Stagliano celebrated their daughter's first year of life over the weekend with a fabulous bash filled with lots of love.

Held at the family home on Saturday afternoon, the party was themed "sprinkled with love" and featured bright pink, lime green, yellow, turquoise and metallic gold color scheme.

According to a source, guests enjoyed a confetti balloon bar, a neon rice sensory station, photo booths and custom crowns. Mac and cheese, BBQ items and a variety of salads were available to eat while visitors enjoyed La Croix sparkling water.

"So much fun at Addison's first birthday party," Pappas shared on Twitter after the weekend celebrations put on by Good Carma Studio. "She was one happy girl."

The happy couple welcomed their first child named Addison Marie Stagliano on Feb. 6, 2014. In 12 short months, the parents' "little angel" has proven to be one impressive baby.

"Addison started walking a couple weeks ago," Deanna revealed to E! News. "[She] just stood straight up in her bedroom and started walking."

She added, "I was a crying mess! I was so thankful that I was there to see her first steps."

And as any parent quickly realizes with a newborn, time just starts flying by.

"I don't know where the last year has gone. Twelve months went by so fast," she told E! News after her daughter donned Stride Rite shoes at the party. "I feel like I was pregnant and waiting for her arrival just yesterday. Now she is one."

"She is the joy of my life," she added.  "My heart is so full thanks to this special little girl!"

Happy Birthday, Addison, and well done mom and dad on a terrific party!
