My good friend Laura of Ascot Friday recently threw super cute party for her one year old son, Lincoln.  All the stars aligned (with a birthday right before 4th of July and a name like Lincoln) for a red-white-and-blue BASH.  I’ve photographed several of Laura’s parties and she out does herself every time!  I’m dividing the party into three parts for the blog.  This will be the post showing the decor and party guests.  Then the photo booth and a special post for the cake smash.  Because it was that cute!

Laura bought an old presidential campaign book and used the pages to make posters as decor.  The dollar store had a wealth of flags and red, white and blue accessories.

Here’s Laura and her sister prepping the hot dogs…Bryan’s mastering the grill behind them.

What’s more American than apple pie a la mode?  I love this party tip…pre-scoop the ice cream and adorn it with flags, so it’s ready to serve!

Next up…the fun photo booth!
