Madd Max Parties Birthday Style

At 1-year-old ELF's party.
It was a 100+ degree day in the Valley, but that didn't deter ELF's dedicated admirers.
Not only did they come to celebrate, but they had also been promised pooltime.With appropriate shade for the big and the small.There was food.
For the big and small (think falafel and hummus aside chicken fingers and french fries).The smallest of all, BYOB'd - boob, not beer.
Many an adult was heard wishing that they too had brought a swimsuit for the pool. Jess ended up adhered to that chair.And then it was cake time, which ELF thoroughly enjoyed, all over her face.
Max was excited to find out we had another party to head to later that evening.
We headed out to the mountains of Acton, where the smoke layer from all of the fires was clear across the horizon.Where we ended at TV's Jerry Knight's birthday party - the cowboy in the middle. The sunset was gorgeous - full of color from all of the ash in the air.
Mom and Maddie danced to the band.
And spent time with some old friends, the Maloofs and Ballew, to name a few.
(Early the next morning, a mandatory evacuation was ordered for Acton - so far Jerry's house is safe and we hope it continues to be).
