Birthday Bash

...Ry's First Birthday...

Well, where to start? Ry's party had been on my mind for a couple months. I LOVE to throw parties and decorate, so I was stoked to get started on Rylee's forst birthday! The night before the party my two friends Jovy and Ambre came down and spent the night. It was so much fun being with those two again... it made me miss our NY days. We scared ourselves, laughed all night, made a late night Walmart run, and of course went to get drinks at midnight! We stayed up until 4 getting things ready for the partay! Thanks to Chase for taking Ry for the night, so we could have some fun!

Well, the party wasnt what we had originaly planned. We were going to have a big water party at our house, decorated with everything black and pink, BBQ, and the cutest cake. Instead the weather was crappy... pouring down rain, the tempature had gone from 85 down to 60. So, ya the water party was out of the question. We moved eveything up to my moms, but didnt have time to decorate. We got 6 balloons up, and the pink table cloth. My cousins husband was making the cake, but she got induced the day before, so of course that was more important. Like I said it wasnt the big party I wanted to have, but it was still a GREAT party. I think Chase is thankful that things turned out like they did... it saved his wallet some money!

Thank you to everyone who came and made the day PERFECT!

I dont think Rylee smiled in ONE picture the whole day. She had gotten up early and didnt take a nap. She was one cranky baby!

Aunt Katie gave the #1 gift!

Rylee has played with her new Ariel doll EVERY day since the party. It goes in the tub, the pool, the car, to bed... everywhere!

A little spoiled.

Look at that face.

Grandma Great gave her the cute swimsuit.

When we are at parties, or in big groups Ry gets worn out real fast. I think thats what happened at her party... and the nap she missed!

After everyone left Ry calmed down, and enjoyed some corn on the cob by herself.

Two seconds in the car and this birthday girl was out cold!
