Michael

This is my son Michael.  I can't believe he is already 16!  He's changed so much just over the last couple years and is really becoming a man.  I have to say I am a proud mama!

Black & White Ball Themed Birthday Party

My Abby turned 8 last year and I tried to give her the huge birthday she deserved since in my religion 8 is when they are baptized.  However, I was 2 weeks away from giving birth and just couldn't pull it off so I told her I'd make it up to her this year.  The theme for the party was a "Black and White Ball".  

Here is the invitation I designed...
 

I turned my photography studio into the ballroom with the help of the 10'x10' Portofino Pavilion from Z Gallerie and a huge roll of black plastic table cloths.  There is no natural light in my studio so it was perfect for a fancy ball. Here it is...
The cake was made by my friend's neighbor.  She did an amazing job and it tasted just as amazing as it looked!
Nine butterflies, one for each year!
With the lights off...
   The girls entered through the streamers on the left.
The empty bowl was later filled with croissant sandwiches. 
Thank you bags to take home with homemade necklace, kisses, heart shaped candy cane, and bubbles.
Dance floor with disco ball

The party was a huge success and the reactions I saw from all the 16 little girls that came was exactly what I hoped for.  They partied for two hours and could have gone longer! 

Abby insisted on cutting her cake herself.  She said, "I want to serve all my guests." 
Happy birthday sweet girl.  You are so worth this and more.  Mama loves you!!!
