The Scene

The Throne--decorated by Robyn.

Fabulous food signs created by Tim.


Yes, we're using the brown paper again from our wedding. Seriously, the best buys we've ever made.

My Winnie-the-Pooh and Kanga hand crafted by my Grandmother and Frankie's cakes. The best one made by Frankie's Auntie Peach (Amanda) just for him.

The Party Prep

For Frankie's Birthday Party a wonderful group of friends and family members volunteered to help make food, decorate and just lend a helping hand. A big thank you to Kristen, Sarah G., J9, Kate, Robyn and Grandma Nancy for making delicious food for the party. Thank you to Robyn, Leah, Barb and my mom for helping to decorate. Thank you to PJ and Grandma Nancy for all the wonderful pictures from the party. Thank you to Auntie Peach (Amanda) for creating the most awesome cake ever! A enormous thank you to Barb and Lee for allowing us to use their church basement for the party, helping to coordinate the party, cleaning up and for taking care of our son for the last year three days a week. You are both amazing people!
