First Birthday in Hoffman Estates

This was a classy party at Stonegate in Hoffman Estates. The birthday boy’s hair was moussed up and he wore a tweed jacket and a bow tie. The women were aglitter. The men, of course, came in jeans. But overall, a carefully planned party with lots of entertainment. I felt lucky to be asked back, having done the mom’s baby shower the year before. As often happens at kids parties, I’m asked to draw the birthday child in color and then switch to black/white for everybody else.  Thank you, Sana and Cathi.
