Mason's 1st Birthday!

We celebrated Mason's 1st birthday today!  It was so fun to see most of the cousins and catch up.  It was great seeing all the little ones play together.  There was an awesome face-painter and balloon maker there.  The girls LOVED it!  Kate did a great job with the theme and the decorations!  Everything was so cute!  Too bad I didn't take pictures of all the cute monster stuff.

Happy Birthday little man!

Sara & Livi, painted princesses.

Juli, the snow tiger.

And of course, every good snow tiger needs a parrot.

Mom-Mom and her great grandchildren.  Unfortunately we were missing Tyler.  Hopefully we can get one of them all soon!

Mommy's girl too? Nah! Daddy's girl through & through!

Let's get this party started!

See what happens when you cut her loose?

Having the time of her life.

She's the "Dancing Queen."

Let them eat cake.

WOW! Juli loved the chocolate fountain!

All a girl needs is a good pair of dancing shoes!

Of course, we were not allowed to leave until we did the chicken dance (per Juli's instructions)! Unfortunately, by the time it was played and Juli got her chicken dance spotlight the battery on our camera had already died. So if anyone has good pictures of that (or any others really) that they would love to share, please send them to me.

Congratulations Amy & Joe! Per cento ano!

Amy & Joe Get Married

The ceremony room was decorated beautifully.

Joe and his best man.

Melissa, Amy's sister and Maid of Honor.

Julianna the Flower Girl.

Right after the picture above, Juli ran out of flower petals about halfway to 3/4 of the way down the aisle. She stopped and put her hand to her mouth and was like "uh oh!". LOL! They had given out cones with flower petals in them to throw instead of rice. She was right next to my aunt when it happened. I think it was my aunt - James had to tell me since I was outside with Juli. I had to sneak in between Amy and Juli. Anyway, she leaned out and dumped her petals into Juli's basket. As she walked down the aisle everyone else started doing the same thing!! LOL It was SO cute!

Taking her place.

Amy and her dad, Rick.

Exchanging rings.

Officially, Mr. & Mrs.!!

Before the Wedding

We arrived at the big event with Juli asleep again. I was really hoping it wouldn't be the theme for the night. She woke up and warmed up to everyone not long after getting there.

Amy & Juli. Doesn't Amy look absolutely amazing?? Well Juli's not too shabby herself, lol, but Amy really was the beautiful bride!

Juli on the balcony with the bridesmaids flowers.

Peeking to see what guests had arrived.

I think I might have been giving her the pep talk here.

Having a few snacks to tide us over until cocktail hour.

Juli did take her camera with her, we ran out of batteries and then realized we left her memory card at home. This is the ONE picture she took last night.
