Tessa's Party - September 21, 2009

We had such a fun party for our Miss Tess! This girl has ALWAYS had a thing for shoes, so it was a pretty obvious theme for her first birthday party! We really don't know why she's so into shoes - seriously - it's not like we really have cute shoes in this house - unless you consider Wow's Adidas collection "cute" - anywho...

Happy Birthday Tess!



The invite:

The cause:

We had everyone bring their gently used shoes to donate, and yes - they did eventually even make it to the donation drop (although the picture proof is on the other *broken* computer - I'll try to add it later!)

The deco:

A few games:
A shoe matching relay game for the littles...
And a trivia game for the bigs (and a couple of littles too...)

The prizes and favors:
Lots of yummy food:
(Not pictured - delicious barbeque a'la Wow)

Awesome gifts:

A delicious birthday cake:

A messy (and then slightly grumpy) birthday girl!

Happy Birthday Sweet Tess!
