ah...yes the party is now done and over. it feels like the planning took longer than the actual party itself but it was great fun celebrating this blessing that God so graciously gave us...jae we love you, happy birthday baby girl.
so we decided to have her birthday party at Sauganash Park District in the auditorium because its the best of both worlds: indoors for shelter in case the weather wasn't being nice (which it wasnt....it poured so hard that I thought it would just be me eating all the food and desserts ) and it has a really nice playground and gym for the kids and adults.
probably the best part of the decor I loved are the balloons...they are the 36" round size and they really become the main decor piece. In my future posts I'll dedicate some DIY tutes on the centerpieces and other decor....all my decor was DIY...i'm pretty proud of that.
okay...so enjoy the intro pics, I say intro because there are so many that I'm deciding on the best ones to show still. and i wish there were more pics of jae, but she fell asleep the most of the party...she is still a baby after all.
enjoy.
