1st Birthday Party

We had a WONDERFUL Memorial Day weekend. The girls' first birthday party was a success. Our "red, white, & blue" themed party was complete with an all American decor & menu including flags lining the driveway, red & white star-shaped plates, blue cups, red punch, hamburgers, hot dogs, potato chips, baked beans, pasta salad, fruit salad, & red velvet cake which perfectly matched the invitations. All of the guests (& the honorees) were decked out in red, white, & blue as well. Patrick said, "If Uncle Sam had a house, this is what it would look like!" Of course, I took it as a compliment that my party planning was adequate. Geneva & Lexa had fun being the center of attention & of course having their first taste of sugar. Here are some pics...
