evelyn's birthday party pics...finally!

i had so much fun throwing miss evelyn her first birthday party. we hosted a brunch party in longview. it was actually our last weekend in washington, so i guess it was sort of a farewell party too. all our family came up and a few of our close friends from longview joined in on the festivities.

this is the birthday banner that i made for the party...i think there is a closer pic to come.

(my mom and mother-in-law helped a bit too!)

the back of it...i loved how all the bright fabric colors went together
we made lots of pom-pom flowers to hang around the house and patio...

the birthday girl wanted to open a present early...she loves her new bike and mom loves the tall handle on it! :)

aunt sasa and gwynn...

aunt lucy putting a few finishing touches on brunch...

party guest...

sweet gwynn and avery reading a story...

our awesome neighbors that we are going to miss soooo much! :(

they brought their house in longview a month before us and they found out a few weeks after we told them we were moving back to oregon that they were moving to san jose!

so maybe that makes it easier to say good-bye since they are moving too! so if you know of anyone that needs two really cute houses on the same street we could maybe hook them up! :)

charlie and mr. payton...

ashley getting lots of practice with sweet baby jane (pam's daughter)...

the fam...

pretty girls avery and pam...

(pam took all of the pics towards the end of the post...thank you!)

lucy's raspberry cheesecakes she made for the party...isn't evie's baby one so cute?!

if you look real close at the banner, you can see the cute little flowers in the middle that my mohter-in-law helped me with...

i love when she gets shy and wants to cuddle in my neck...

sarah brought these gorgeous flowers down from the pike market...

pom-poms...

somebody doesn't look like she likes her birthday hat...

(my friend pam made the hats...i loved them!)

happy birthday to you...

sweet sign that pam made for the birthday girl..

luckily she had lots of eager helpers to open the presents...
