Nora's Birthday Party!

I'm so behind on blogging but I'm trying to catch up!

Of course I had been excited for months to throw a big party for Nora's first birthday! We decided on a "monkey" theme since Jason always calls Nora his little monkey. We picked bright colors and I made her a little smash cake! We also invited all of our friends over for a backyard barbecue and Grandpa Wes came to town to celebrate too! It was a blast and we were so happy to celebrate our little monkey. It was a fun party even if it was pretty hot!

Get ready for photo overload! :)

Happy first birthday Nora!
