It was a perfect day...

Everything came together for Maisie's four year old birthday party! Perfect weather, fun outdoor activities, My Little Pony decor, and happy kids - little and big! Certain occasions and backdrops create the most beautiful pictures too (not to mention a talented sister-in-law)





















































I really am learning what makes these parties successful and sweet. It's called spending time with the birthday child alone that day in preparation (Maisie I will forever remember wheeling you around Fred Meyers, you eating a donut in the cart's baby seat, as we picked up last minute Pony stuff and 10 beautiful pink helium balloons. Some moments are magical. That was one of them for me)

and keeping things simple.

Doesn't help when it's the most beautiful fall weather either! Thanks to all who came and helped. You all love Maisie too.

I love seeing all our family's beautiful babies. And now that Jack has brought his parents back home we will even get to see him with gang. Very cool. Love all you guys and very proud of your family values.

There really was something magical about that day. I don't know if it was the weather or the perfect balance of cake and outdoor activities, but even with all those children running around, I didn't see a single fit or meltdown the whole time. Happy birthday again Maisie!
