Beach Birthday Party = Choatic

I can't really say Bug's bday party went off without a hitch, cuz well... the beach was crazy crowded and there were lots of issues with finding parking for the peeps who were running late.(although.... there was still parking available at 10am)

Being that everything was so sandy, I didn't take my camera out for too long, so there aren't too many pics. And the blue shade of the ez-ups didn't make for great coloring either.

I didn't get any pics of Buggy standing in her tutu that I made. This is the only pic I have where you can sort-of see it. (Bug with her "auntie" Dorina):



Her cupcakes that Nana and I made (took me 2 hours to decorate all those little guys):

Her cake that her Grandma Sally made. We added on the sugar ladybugs that I had ordered.

Sydney and her Auntie Stephanie: (loved her curl on top of her head that day)

The crowd:

more crowd the other direction:

Bug looking a little like Mary Lou Retton - short and stocky:

Super cute in her ladybug bathing suit:

Our little piece of paradise for the day. Nice that we got a great spot right next to the walkway for easier accessibility for some of our less mobile guests:

All the grandparents pose with Buggy:

Also, I had gone into this knowing that last time we were at the beach, Bug had no interest in sand. I was confident that she would nicely play on a blanket in the shade. Wrong. She suddenly was all into the sand. She was quite the filthy child at the end of the day.

Next year? Dinner at the Olive Garden and I'll call that fine. LOL!
