Birthday Party

As some may know, I started thinking about Audrey's first birthday party last August. I was discouraged because Isaac's first birthday party was so awesome. It's really hard to beat a backyard BBQ at the start of summer. Fall is so unpredictable, and my house can't house that many people comfortably, and I wanted something unique. So I had the idea of a hayride. Not living on a farm, I knew I'd have to reserve a local site. Since I thought it'd be a little weird to reserve a site before she was actually born, I waited.

Time got away from me, but last week I realized that her birthday is only 2 months away! Almost time to send out invitations! Time to make a reservation somewhere, but where? I called a local greenhouse, and they have a pumpkin patch and hayrides in the fall. I had no idea if they even hosted parties there, or what the cost would be. But it was my only idea, so I was really hoping for something reasonable.

Come to find out, they do host parties. With real activities. Besides a hayride, they offer a playhouse for the kids, story time, a corn maze, cider and donuts, and set-up for the party. The only thing I have to do is supply food. And it's very reasonably priced.

So now that I have the site reserved, it's time for invitations. Again, Isaac's first birthday invites were so cute, how could I ever top them? But I worked on them today, and they are so cute. I think they're on par with Isaac's, so yea! Mission accomplished. Since Karen's the only one who reads this, I can safely say that you'll be getting it soon, and you can concur.

Now I just have to plan the menu, decide on decorations, and organize pictures. Once again, not to have Isaac's party remain superior, I will have pictures of my precious girl from throughout the year.
