Granma helped out big time by staying overnight that weekend since we had a wedding the prior day. The morning of the party Peter and I were running around like crazy setting up everything in the backyard, picking up the cupcakes and cake, balloons, making finger sandwiches, decorating, and figuring everything else out. Abby then took her nap as we continued to work and she woke up a bit later when people were starting to arrive.
I thought that she'd cry and get shy when she saw everyone but she actually did great and didn't freak out or anything! Maybe because she knew it was her birthday or something, j/k. She won't remember any of it and can only go off of my million pictures in the future! She had on her party dress and got to see everyone and be the birthday queen for the day.
It was a special day. :)
Me and the special birthday girl!
We set up two tables of yummy food on the side porch.
So many presents...
I made a lollipop tree (lifesavors in the bucket).
Favors were flower and veggie seed packets.
