Sofia Richie’s First Birthday Party for Daughter Eloise

Sofia Richie is the ultimate party planner.

The model and her husband Elliot Grainge celebrated their daughter Eloise’s first birthday with a lavish backyard bash in honor of the special milestone.

In a post on Instagram May 20, Sofia shared photos and videos from the pink-themed affair, which featured a bouncy castle, mini tents and a two-tier rainbow cake. Alongside the pics, the 26-year-old reflected on her first year of motherhood and the unexpected bittersweetness of Eloise’s big day.

“I didn’t realize her first birthday was going to be such a mix of emotion for me,” she wrote in the caption. “On one hand it’s the most amazing beautiful milestone. On the other hand I look back and realize those tiny little moments are something I’ll never get back.”

But it’s an experience Sofia wouldn’t trade, as she added, “Watching her grow has been a gift.”

“My greatest achievement will ALWAYS be her,” she continued. “Elliot and I couldn’t love anything in this life more. I don’t know what I did to deserve my little buggie, but all I know is my heaven is right here on earth with her.”
