Bree's Party!

Before the fesivities, Bree got to open her gifts from family...the polka dot chair is a BIG hit! And she looks so sweet in it. =)
While Bree took a little morning nap, we got everything ready outside! (The green things that look like trees...they're supposed to be seaweed!)
Inside decorations...Bree's funny faces throughout this year.
This is the other window...the tiny baby photos! I can't even believe it.
We spent most of the morning outside with our friends...the birthday girl had SUCH a fun time! Here she in enjoying some of her sister's lemonade. =)
Aunt Sarah and Uncle Dennis! These are our "surrogate" parents since both sets of our own parents live so far away. And they were AMAZING! Every time we turned around they were fixing something, cleaning up something, or diagnosing AC problems...THANK YOU GUYS!!! You made all the difference!
Lilly and Joey (my cousin Claire's kiddos) were so wonderful with all of the little kids, especially my little baby. Joey kept finding things he thought she'd like and then he was so sweet, he'd always ask me first if it was okay to give her a ball, or walk her to another baby pool. What great kids!
Like this? So sweet!
We were so happy to have some of our friends come hang out with us! Here are a few cute shots:
The awesome Savannah taking on the slip-n-slide with her sunglasses! We love that girl!
Safety first! Gotta have the water ring! (This is Brookston)
...and his cute little sister Kaisley.
Hello Shark, pat pat! (Camryn)
Avery was just not sure about the sprinklers at first, but she warmed up!
Da boys. They were so cute!
Then it was time for CAKE! The kids were so excited!
Bree wasn't quite sure what she was supposed to do! At first she put her face right on the side, but it was covered in thick stiff fondant, so we helped her break it open and she liked that better!
Sweet little baby with Mommy and Daddy!
She was MUCH happier with a cupcake!
Funny little fishface.
Icing kisses for Auntie Sarah!
Then, hanging out with Uncle Dennis enjoying some watermelon.
Bree LOVES her panda from her sweet cousins! How cute are they???
Kaisley had had enough of the party. She passed OUT.
Fun times with Auntie Sarah! They were playing the kazoos (my) Granny sent and playing with all of Bree's new awesome gifts. You should see some of the cool things our sweet friends brought for her! We're so excited to play with them!
Sweet birthday girl says THANK YOU everyone for a wonderful party!!!
