party time!

Saturday was Cassidy's big birthday party. We created a "woodland" theme with forest animals and camping style food. Once again I wasn't very good at taking photos, so these are mostly my parents' and Alissa's. We had a lot of fun and this year was ten times less stressful because I've finally learned to delegate! So, here we go...

The dork in me also decided to make little food labels following our theme, some were cheesier than others.

we also had a coffee and cocoa bar with special little add ins like "Where's my compass? Kahlua" and "Oh deer! Irish Cream"

also, check out the super cool wood platters Sophia's daddy, Chris, made for us!

Brian grilled up some hot dogs and sausages

Cass didn't wake up from her nap until almost an hour into the party, so when she came down everyone was REALLY excited to see her and she was beaming!
