I took Lily with me to get a few last minute supplies, and plopped this hat on her head. She loved it! The check out lady had to hurry and give it back to her because Lily was grunting and getting visibly upset over the loss of her hat.
Dad surprised us by bringing down this giraffe. It perfectly matched our pink/brown giraffe party theme.
It made an excellent goody bag holder.
The cake. As with all of Josh's birthday parties, my mom's help was invaluable!
The cake in action.
Patiently waiting for her slice of cake. This picture is deceiving because the patience lasted less than 2 seconds. Then she began crying and reaching for her cake. Someone tried to substitute with a cracker, but she was waaaay too smart for that.
Now that's the stuff!
Is a hair bow + a party hat over accessorizing?
Helping with clean up.
Josh was fascinated by the balloons at his first birthday. Lily was borderline afraid of them.
It was such a beautiful day that the kids were able to enjoy some time on the swings at the conclusion of the party.
This may be my favorite picture of Lily to date. I love how it captures her big personality.
