We set the date (March 5), booked the room (Chrisiansburg Rec Center - Our house is tooo little!ewwwwwE`), and sent out invitations. That's kinda where the "we" part ended - sorry babe! I decided on a girly giraffe theme for her party since she seems to like her giraffe stuffed animals and it was her Halloween costume and all. I ordered a lot of the supplies online and picked up the rest at a local party store and Wal-Mart. I scheduled the party for 11:30 - 1:30 so Brenna would be between naps. She decided to only take a 30 minute nap that morning (of course!) but she hung in there and took a great afternoon nap as soon as we got home. We are so thankful to our friends and family who came to celebrate our sweet girl's first year with us.
