We recently celebrated my niece Kadence's birthday with her family in LaGrange, Ga.
My brother, Nathan, used favorite photographs of Kadence to design her invitation.
My sister-in-law Shana used red and yellow tablecloths, bananas and some of Kadence's favorite Curious George toys to bring the theme together.

Jennifer designed these adorable cupcake toppers, and Shana made the cupcakes. They were a hit!
A local bakery made Kadence's birthday cake, inspired by a clip-art image Nathan and Shana found.
Curious Kadence loved her party food! She has the cutest personality and expressions.
Gorgeous yellow mums set the tone for the party, and beautiful weather allowed everyone to stay outdoors for the afternoon.
Shana assembled party favors in clear cellophane bags: Curious George cups and stickers with banana candies.
The birthday girl has her hands full with a monkey that is almost as big as she is!
One of Kadence's sweet little friends plays with a balloon.
Another petite playmate pauses on the stairs.
A sweet moment between 3-year-old Kadence and a beloved neighbor. These two share a special relationship, and Kadence was eager to show him her birthday presents.
Bailey and the boys. Carson and Christian couldn't get enough of Kadence's baby sister, Bailey. She is such a cutie!
We snapped a few family photos after the party.
Be sure to stop in tomorrow to see a barrel of monkey gifts to go bananas over.
