Gavin's 3rd and Addison's 1st Birthday Party

The weather was beautiful, but it was very windy! It was smaller than we expected, but ended up being perfect. The kids had a great time and it was a wonderful weekend! Thank you to those of you that came to celebrate with us. It means the world to us and we appreciate everything!

  Just the basics: water, tea and soda.

  Delicious cake!

  Embroidered crayon rolls with Elmo and Abby fabric, crayons, books, stickers, Play-Doh, bubbles and candy.

• Activities / Games

  Just let the kids run wild on the playground. They had a blast!

• John "Pork Chop" Gilkeson aka Daddy

  Official Mommy Helper

  The best daddy (and husband) in the world! He took the day before the party off to help me tie it all together. He was also my helper the day of the party. I could not have done it without his help!

• Linda Banker aka Grammy

  Official Skirt Maker

  She made the perfect skirt for Addison's big day and offered to help with everything. She also helped watch the kids with her sidekick, Gram, while we left to get everything set up.

• Harold Banker aka Papa aka Pipa

  Official Food Getter

  He picked up the food before the party and made sure it was brought to us on time. Without him, everyone would have starved!

• Terra Bodkins

  Official Cricut Cutter

  Aunt Terra was responsible for cutting all of the tiny little pieces of paper that turned into the cutest centerpieces and decorations ever! Huge thanks to her for getting the vinyl faces cut out and shipped to me at last minute and to Postal Worker, Uncle Erik for making sure we would get them on time! The mail lady rolled up just as we were leaving to set up. It could not have worked out any better!
