Party set up -
Some color
Paper pinwheels and tissue paper pom poms - Thanks Pintrest for the ideas!
Mommy + Jovie + birthday girl! Dad's job at the grill!
Games
Fling the Poo (a.k.a. corn holing) - Pouncing Python (a.k.a. ladder toss) - Create Your Creature costume design
We had a whole organized competition with assigned teams, but after only one round of three, a crazy dust wind storm blew through before the thunder and lightning storm cutting it short. Boo!

Cake time!
Originally, Mommy had hoped this would be her first experience with sweets... I said originally. Ha! Didn't happen like that. Oh well. She still enjoyed her 1st B-day!

We started cake time inside without electricity as we escaped the storm, but when the rain stopped we moved outside to get some cool air. Poor Anaya was drenched in sweat while inside!
Lion, Zebra, and Monkey cupcakes
(Thanks Betty Crocker for idea!)
Party Girl enjoying the cool weather after the storm. Could I love this girl more? She is so fun and a joy to our lives.
We love you Anaya Hosanna!
