Last Sunday we had Lily's 1st Birthday Party. A few weeks before we laid sod in the back yard intending to be able to use it for the party. We should have known that it was going to be a monsoon the weekend of her party! I think it rained a good couple inches that day, no joke and it was supper windy. It was a steady downpour the whole day. So to make things work, we cleaned out the garage and had half the party in there. It really ended up working out fine and I was surprised at how well our house held the 40+ people that were here!
See the rain out there?!
Lily's "smash" cake

The table spread
#1 Piñata
(I used this tutorial to make the piñata, except, I used the rolled crape paper instead of tissue paper)
We had so much family come (which was so fun!) and many of them were traveling form the Portland, Salem, and Medford. I thought it would be nice to have her open presents from them before everyone else came, then that way they could take off when they needed too and it wouldn't be so crazy.
It was a little sad seeing this thing being hit at ha!
I didn't get a picture of it but, we had to call in Uncle Danny to hit it hard enough to break it open!
The house full!
Birthday girl ready for some cake!
Don't worry, we ended up cutting it in half!
More presents
Lily and Liya
I still can't believe Lily is ONE!
Thank you everyone who came! We are so blessed to have such great friends and family! It was a fun day!
I can't believe she's one! I'm so impressed with your pinata, I've wanted to make one but I know I never will. Looks like it was a fun party!
