Overall, it was an awesome party filled with some family and close friends, and we got to celebrate Addie's first birthday! I loved the Elmo theme, and appreciated all the hard work Natalie (and Kenny and Erica) put into the party and decorations!

Anyways, that's all for now. More confessions to come.
