Birthday Parties - AFP

In Selma, whether by natural inclination or need due to lack of viable alternatives, many are very adept at entertaining. I am not necessarily one of those people but I do love to be entertained. If you want someone to appreciate a good hostess, invite me - I get that it takes a lot of creativity, energy and consideration.  I will praise you and thank you for it. I have been blessed that some of my closest friends are also some of the ultimate hosts in town. I am going to do a series of several posts on  some parties I have had the pleasure of capturing digitally.

To start, birthday parties. I have pre-school age children, so birthday parties are still a big deal.  One of my favorites was Anne Frances Pearce's tennis birthday party.  Pics below...enjoy and maybe pick up a few fun ideas for you or one of your friends.

Plenty of toppings for make your own sundaes. Two of my favorites ....
