The adorable daughter of Hollywood Darlings star Christine Lakin and her husband Brandon Breault celebrated her first birthday on Saturday with an owl-themed backyard bonanza fit for kids and adults alike. “Georgia’s first birthday party was so incredible and I have Good Carma Studio to thank for an absolutely amazing job pulling it all together,” Lakin, 38, tells PEOPLE exclusively. Held at a private residence in Toluca Lake, California, the bash was attended by celebrity guests such as Christy Carlson Romano, Beverley Mitchell and Stephen Stagliano. “It was truly such a memorable day,” Lakin says. “I’ll be over here crying wishing time would stand still just a little longer.” Want all the latest pregnancy and birth announcements, plus celebrity mom blogs?

But no party is complete without dessert. Celebrity-fave bakery Polkatots Cupcakes put together three owl-themed cakes, cookies decorated to say “#1,” rainbow Rice Krispies treats and chocolate-covered pretzels. And of course, Georgia had her own mini smash cake — a highly lauded first-birthday tradition. “She had a rather ‘delicate’ smash of her cake, but it was hilarious watching her tackle a four-layer cake by herself,” the Step by Step alum says of the birthday girl.

Georgia had a blast with the rest of the kids, bopping around on MegaFun Unicorn bouncers and sporting an adorable shirt plastered with a big gold number “1.” “Her sweet shirt by Fayfaire was a hit, and all the moms were loving the Emma J. necklaces they got to take home. [Emma J] even made a special one for Georgia,” shares Lakin, who herself wore the Bell Sleeve Dress by Eliza J for the afternoon’s festivities.

But despite the fun had by all, her mom isn’t in a huge rush for Georgia’s second birthday to arrive. “I can’t believe my baby is 1,” Lakin says. “Everyone said time would fly by and, when she was 2 months old, waking up three times a night, I admit I had hoped they were right for a bit.” “But suddenly my little baby is pulling up and nearly walking and wanting to do everything by herself, and now I find myself just wanting time to slow down.”
