Tori Spelling's daughter, Stella, celebrates her first birthday

For daughter Stella's first birthday party on Saturday, mom Tori Spelling, dad Dean McDermott, and 100 family friends gathered in celebration. Some of the guests included Melissa Joan Hart, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, Scott Baio and Larry Birkhead.  
  
The party was designed with a ladybug theme by event planner Jo Gartin of Love Luck and Angels.  
  
The event was held at a private estate in Encino, Calif. Guests could take their children to the gardening station where they could make their own potted plants, or they could go to the cookie-decorating station, they could visit the ladybug insect zoo, or get face-painting or pony-rides.  
  
Also to the guests' delight, Stella and her older brother Liam's favorite group, The Jumpitz, performed a few songs at the party.  
  
"Stella was clapping her hands and enjoying the music," said a guest of the party. "And Tori and Liam were singing along to the songs."  
  
The guests walked away with goodie bags valued at $2,500. Inside were gift certificates to Billion Dollar Babes and Mabel's Labels, Phillips Avent insulated cups, Ming Ming dolls and T-shirts from Market.  
  
Stella's party will appear on Tori and Dean's reality show, "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" on Oxygen.
