i realized that throwing a birthday party for sage would be more for me than her. frankly, her dream party would include cords, shoes, paper, and kitchen utensils, with the main event being unfolding stacks of fresh laundry.
instead, i decided on a retro circus party in my parents' backyard. it was a running joke in my family in the weeks leading up to this silly party i wanted to throw..."oh, jessica's RETRO circus party..." but my mom was so cute and helped me pull it together. okay, she ended up doing almost everything. anything i'm good at, my mom is ten times better at (thanks, mama).
my summery garden party quickly turned into 50 degree weather, so socks, shoes, leggings, and sweaters got added to sage's party outfit. boo.
we grilled burgers, had a bazooka bubble gum blowing contest, launched rocket balloons, snacked on roasted peanuts, neccos, barnum's animal crackers, caramel corn, salt water taffy, and other retro goodness with aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins.
