It was a HOOT!

Saturday was Little Girl's birthday party! Mommy decided on an owl theme to "make things easier". Oh, silly Mommy! What ensued was a lot of hot glue gun action and only a little muffled cursing. But, seriously. Check out the DIY pinata that Daddy (and a little Mommy) made! Mommy got the idea from Young House Love, and her and Daddy referenced this wonderful tutorial frequently during the making of said pinata. All we added were the googly eyes and the nose.

The wonderful Richard Gibbens (family friend and photographer) took all these beautiful pictures so we could have time to entertain and soak up every minute of the birthday girl's big day. You can check out his work and rates here: http://www.richgibbens.com/ . Big thanks to him for capturing such a special day for us.

Can't believe our baby is a TODDLER now. Crazy!

the end.
