This afternoon was my niece Zoe’s 10th birthday party, her real birthday is this Wednesday. But a bunch of close friends and family members gathered at “Chez Rocker” for a little celebration this afternoon. Usually I like to leave my camera at home when I’m not working but today I felt inclined to bring it along. Perhaps because I just got a brand new Hayward tote bag and I needed to put some stuff in it so that I could show it off. :) Whatever the reason, having it with me inspired me to shoot more personal stuff on a regular basis so I’m going to make an attempt to drag my camera pretty much wherever I go and just see what happens…even if only to have plenty of images to blog.
So here are a few from Miss Zoe’s party. After all of the kiddos were like shriveled little raisins from being in the pool for hours and hours, it was time for some cupcakes and “happy birthday” action.
I don’t think Henry wanted to share his cupcake with me. I did eat two of my own though. :)
Who doesn’t love opening presents?
All of the kids were so adorable, I had to grab a juicy close-up of each of them.
And one more of the 3 musketeers. I’m sure they have no idea what they are doing here but I thought it was pretty cute.
Tomorrow night Gary and I are taking Zoe out by herself for a “grown up” date since she is 10 and that’s sort of a big deal. I’ll post back with a report when we get home.
