The Birthday Girl

Livi's party was the Saturday after her birthday. She invited about 8 girls and requested a home party again. We kept it simple with a little craft, treasure hunt, pin the paw on the puppy, and some mentos bombs! One of our neighbor's friends made some beautiful cookies for party favors. Livi and Oscar were thrilled since they actually tasted as good as they looked (most fancy cookies around here are less than tasty):

Livi LOVES decorating her own cake


We set up an area in the yard for photos with some props. We tested out the area first, and they both really got into it.



Oscar took off a layer for each picture...






And then the friends arrived!

I actually like the washed out look we got from shooting into the sun as the afternoon went on:





 I'd just planned on just taking pictures with my camera and sending them to the parents, but our neighbor Marissa was helping out at the party and had a polaroid camera. She offered to take some shots of the girls so they could each take one home, which worked perfectly with our craft:

and cake!
