We threw a graduation party for Pauly P on Saturday and *I think* everyone had a great time! I spent much of it with Cami in my arms grizzling as there was just a bit too much excitement for her (hosting a party with a 6 month old= kinda hard work!), but it was really fun to do a big hurrah!
The weather did not behave at all though. We had had our fingers crossed all day, but about 15 minutes before guests were to arrive, the heavens opened up and it poured. And poured. And poured. Seriously, I have never seen so much rain in January. There was thunder and lightening, and flash floods. I was so sad I admit I nearly cried : (
Nevertheless the party went ahead, but my pretty backyard was ruined, the ground underneath the gazebo turned to mush so we couldn’t even use it, and all the chairs and seating we had arranged were abandoned in the rain and everyone had to squash inside and under the pergola standing up.
Luckily, the heavy rain subsided quite quickly, and we only had drizzle for most of the night. In any case it didn’t seem to slow the kids down one little bit!
We hired a wood oven pizza guy, and this pizza was amazing. Soooooo good.
You can see in the background of this photo the much loved slushie machine! This baby got a workout- the kids loved their tropical slushies, and we enjoyed the adult versions too!
This cake tasted as good as it looked- it was DELICIOUS.
It was a great night and a big THANKYOU to everyone who came to help us celebrate!
