Party Recap

Our party for Hope's 1st birthday was a special one. We wanted a theme that was a little different, and reflected her personality. Since we call her Sunshine, it seemed a perfect fit to go with a hybrid theme of Little Miss Sunshine & You Are my Sunshine. While the weather may not have cooperated, it didn't matter, because it was nothing but sunshine inside.

    Great work!!! He got some fantastic pictures, and wasn't intrusive at all. In fact, we forgot he was there until after. Nice guy to work with, I highly recommend him. http://www.tpez.com
