Five.

Five years ago on October 1st, I gave birth to my daughter, Ava. All she wanted was a Katy Perry party (California Girls is her JAM, y'all!), but it eventually just morphed into a bright colored-chevron printed-candy party. Here are some of the pictures from her big day, unedited.

Happy birthday, my sweet baby girl.

Ava & my niece, Gia (We had a makeshift photo station with different glasses)

Drink placecards

Newest obsession: paper straws

Felt flowers from $1 section at Target, 'vase' is an old wine gift box.

Candy, candy, & more candy.

This banner reminds me of a lemonade stand.

Some of our good friends in the photo station.

Addy's Auntie Cassie was sneaking her the goods :)

Obviously the plate says it all.

Cupcakes

"So hot we'll melt your popcicle..."

Magic Jack came and put on a show - AWESOME!

Ava with her new pillow pet & balloon crown!

Make a wish!

My sister, Gia & Ava

Me and my whole world.
