clearly i am a terrible blogger.
maggie p. turns a year and a half old on monday, and i am finally
finished gathering & editing all the photos from her first birthday party. be prepared for a photo overload.
i adore picnics and spring and summer.
all 3 of us were born in the winter.
so, to celebrate our lady baby turning one, we brought
the picnic indoors. our theme was, sunshine and owls - two things that remind us of our girl. our talented friend, Ben, brought his guitar and sang some songs for the kids, as well as a special version of 'you are my sunshine' for our little sunshine & led us all in a beautiful 'happy birthday' song. it was super special because Ben used to sing to maggie when she was a newborn at community group and she would instantly calm down. we thought it would be fitting for him to sing to her on her birthday.
