Post-Party Report


For those who are waiting for a posting on Audrey's first birthday party: sorry, I took no pictures at all myself, relying instead on Kelly and a neighbor who were shooting like paparazzi. (The pics shown here are courtesy of Kel-Bells.)

As always, my sisters were awesome coming through in every way. Thank you girls for all your help!






The party was great--very fun indeed!

Games (pin the tail on Elmo, Audrey trivia, ultimate diaper challenge). Mini-burgers, macaroni-n-cheese, cupcakes, sno-cones, margaritas and last but certainly not least: great friends and family! (although many of you were also missed...) Audrey received an abundance of generous, cute and fun gifts which she will enjoy for ages to come.


Here's Walker and Jeanie playing the Ultimate Diaper Challenge...


Audrey's Uncle Jeff a.k.a. 'The Sno-Cone Master.' A shout-out to the dj of cherry, lime, grape and blue-raspberry icy creations.



Audrey absolutely LOVED having people sing 'Happy Birthday To You' in her honor. In this picture, she is receiving encore performances of the song from Nanay, Diane & Denise! Clearly, she likes it.



These are friends, Yesenia and her daughter Bethany, who were kind enough to jump in and help frosting cupcakes at the last minute!


Here's Audrey with one of her absolute favorite people in the entire world: cousin Bailey. Audrey just adores Bailey, at all times. And we couldn't have done it without Bailey (and our neighbor Rebecca!), watching Audrey during party-prep and inflating balloons, etc.!


These girls didn't think I noticed them stealing cupcakes before dessert time. And I didn't. But they also didn't know that those were the cupcakes that touched raw meat and that I was gonna through away.
Just kidding. Tee-hee.



A picture of Audrey only seconds old.

We would like to take this opportunity to THANK PROFUSELY, the kind and compassionate cleanup crew. A special shout-out to Mom, Dad, Kir & Jeff, Denise & Matt. THANK YOU!! OH MY GOSH. We would probably still be hosing off the patio and ridding our kitchen of ants one week later....
