Pheadra's first birthday!!!!

 Our good friends Josh and Colleen Francia invited us to share a double birthday party since their son Pierce was born just a few weeks after Phaedra.  So, Corinne and Colleen spent a few weeks making plans, and Josh and I helped get everything set up the day before and the morning of.  Their house was transformed into a circus-themed birthday wonderland!

 Here is the birthday girl in her special birthday outfit!

 Here are Pierce and Phaedra playing at the coffee table, under Grandma's watchful eye.

 Corinne and Colleen went all out! From streamers to circus tents to themed food, you name it, they thought of it.

 We decorated her booster seat and she was very serious about the cake proceedings.

 Corinne made this huge cupcake.  So rad!

 While Pierce destroyed his cake (and ate big handfuls of yummy cake), Phaedra carefully picked off sprinkles, one by one.  She licked a tiny bit of frosting, but that was about it!

 She fell in love with the tunnel (so we subsequently got her on on Amazon prime -- the most addictive online shopping!)

 She got some cool little cars.  In true Phaedra fashion, she has her little legs crossed.

So, all in all, the Pierce & Phaedra Phestivities were Phenomenal!  The Francia's home looked splendid and so many of our close friends came to enjoy the day with all of us.  Cheers!
