Two best pals sharing their passion for the Parks and finding magic in the everyday
I love a theme. I love a party. So naturally I’ve been planning my son’s first birthday party since before he was born. Up has been an important part of our family’s story, tying it into our wedding and our birth announcement, so it seemed fitting to celebrate our little explorer growing up with an Up-themed birthday party! We were able to incorporate so many fun details, and I wanted to share all of the adventure with you!
