(I still haven't combined, edited, and spent sufficeint time with the pictures... there are thousands. BUT I will be posting a facebook album soon. Our photographer for the event did a marvelous job *no, not me* and I'm so very excited about sharing her work. If you don't see your precious bebe in this tiny snippette, be patient bc you'll have full access to the FB album... if, of course, you are my friend.)
It was a beautiful day for a Picnic in NaNa's Garden. We had a beautiful afternoon eating and playing. I wanted the feel to be more like a old fashioned church social than a rushed, early morning, toddler birthday party... I wanted our guest to eat, lay on the picnic blankets with their bebies, enjoy our cake walk, and just mingle and relax and visit. From what I can tell, I think we did just that. ;)
Here is a small view of what Jackson's big day was like: *click the images to make them larger... more colorful and less grainy. I need to find a new blog site... blogger is killing my images.

The pics are SOOOO precious! Looks like a great birthday party! :)
And hey... you can change your template to where it will hold pics in the large or original size. See my blog? It's got a much wider area for pics. I have friends who are photographers & they love blogger - but they have the wider templates too. You can play around w/ yours by going to your dashboard & then clicking "template designer" (under "design"). It might take a bit to make it look right but it'll fix the picture issue! I hope this helps! :) Feel free to ask if you need help... :)
BEAUTIFUL!!
