party time!

we had an eventful morning deciding whether to have the party inside or outside. it never even occured to me that it could rain. it never rained but it was nasty and humid so the party ended up being indoors. it worked out fine but my "vision" for this party didn't happen b/c it wasn't outside!

it was a fun day! i could post lots more pics but i'll spare you. i still can't believe she's a year old...

ps - i need to note that i had LOTS more decorations that my official photographer (jenny) didn't take pics of. probably b/c they were outside while we were partying inside. i guess i should have been more direct with my instructions! thanks anyway, jenny, you did a great job! i need to thank lindsey for some fantastic stickers she made for me. one was on the back of my lollipop centerpieces and said "olivia's one". the other was on the back of the party favors (cookies on a stick made to look like lollipops) and said "thanks for making my birthday so sweet". donna strickland made the cookies and they were GOOD! i just wanted to document this for olivia. :)
