may day polaroids

these 'roids come to you courtesy of my great friend jojo who sent me a surprise roll of polaroid film last week! if it weren't for him i would not have been able to take these lovely photos.
thanks jojo!


a very pregnant allison looks off in the distance as the fun of the fiesta begins.


the guests arrive.


seanna mackey, my favorite four year old, climbs the may pole before the dance begins.


the may pole dance, one of my new favorite traditions. it was so beautiful to see so many people of all ages dance around, weaving around each other to celebrate spring!

may day party

on friday afternoon allison and aaron threw the most wonderful may day celebration in honor of spring and the coming of may. the party was complete with music, food, facepainting (run by yours truly) and the ceremonious may pole dance. it was such a beautiful afternoon.
here are some highlight photos of the event. i have some great polaroids coming up, too.
