Party Day

Hayden's party was PERFECT.

The Birthday Girl was gorgeous. (As always!!)

The decorations were great.



The goodies were all in place -

- including the best birthday cakes EVER made especially for Hoot by my cousin, Erin Rae:

There were presents galore!

The cake was eaten... or smashed.

And the Owl was pooped when it was over.

All in all, it turned out perfectly - and I really enjoyed it.  (That's a big deal for those of us suffering from The Clark Griswold Effect.) 

Thanks to the family and friends who all came to wish Hootie a Happy 1st Birthday.  It means so much to us that so many people love her.  She is a really lucky little kid.

And now, onward and upward - TWO, here we come.  We'll bethere before we know it!
