taya's birthday party

i planned a big strawberry shortcake birthday party for my niece, taya, last week {with a lot of help from her mom, audra}! the party was a lot of fun.

audra & sebi's computer broke, so i'm posting these pics here on my blog for everyone who was at the party {just click on the pics you want & save them to your computer}.
