It is your birthday.

I'll be honest, these days I've been mistaking little kids birthday parties as wedding receptions, it's kind of icky. Maybe it's just me justifying laziness, or possibly my lack of creativity talking, but I decided to keep V's party "super low-key". We did all of Ivys favorite things- played in my parents backyard, swam, played pickle ball, and BBQ'd, it was just right. I told everyone to not bring Ivy a gift , but she was spoiled rotten anyways. Thanks to all our great family and friends who came out to say wassup. We love y'all.
 You know you've partied too hard when you have to be hosed down.

I am totally with you on the whole "making babies bday like a wedding" thing. They don't even know whats going on anyway, so why not make it low key?! Plus, it doesnt get better than cake, BBQ, and swimming! What a fun Bday...she is adorable!!!

i fully agree about baby birthdays. i understand what a huge deal it is for parents to reach their one year anniversary as parents, but still. more power to them, i guess :) and more power to you for having a chill V day.
