Max's Circus

Well February 18th came all too fast for us! 
Our Maximillion turned one, in what felt like a blink of an eye.
Of course we had a party and he stayed awake for less than half of it.
Our theme was circus/ carnival.
We had a bounce house, tic tac toe toss, photo booth, and hula hoops.
On the main menu: hot dogs, chili, nachos, and popcorn.
Deserts: circus mix, candy apples, and cupcakes
We had a fun time with great friends and family!!

My dear friend Melanie Avila and I became friends while I was on maternity leave for Max. She was my long term sub, lucky students! She is so deserving of a classroom, but for now she is following her passion and talent, photography! She did Max's first birthday shoot and a Valentine's mini shoot. Melanie did a phenominal job!! We had so much fun I asked her to shoot Max's birthday party. She did a fabulous job with all these pictures, and took the stress off of me. Thank you Melanie!!
