WOW. What a day!

Our little garden was filled with music, laughter, great food, and so much love. Three bands, a port-a-let, and a whole lotta community! Our Garden Party is growing, and our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.

🎶 A Very Special Thank You

We want to send a huge thank-you to The Bittertones, Elisa Nichols, and Cathy Wicks for bringing their light, talent, and magical music to the garden. We are so grateful you shared your music, your energy, and your beautiful spirits with us.

Elisa Nichols, and Cathy Wicks 

The Bittertones,

❤️ It Takes a Village

We couldn't have pulled this party together without our incredible volunteer, kitchen, setup, and cleanup crew: Kevin, Alan, Alicia, Barb, Polansky, Kylie, and Ren.

And a special thank-you to Michelle and Ben for all their help with setup. You are the people behind the scenes who help make the party happen!

And, of course, we can't forget our own Paw Patrol security team—Calloway! 🐾 He was on duty all day, making sure everyone was safe, the garden was properly sniffed, and the party stayed under control. We hear he takes payment in treats. 😂❤️

🍪 And Then There Was Dessert...

A big thank-you to our band Mom, Mrs. Jenifer Ishida, for making those delicious chocolate chip cookies.

And Steph went the extra mile for our very special birthday boy, Los, by making his all-time favorite dessert: Nutter Butter banana pudding! 🎂🍌🥜

🎵 Making It All Sound Good

Of course, a garden full of three bands needs some serious sound help! Huge thanks to Mike Luley for making it all sound amazing. 🎤🎸🥁  ( he also made delicious chocolate chip cookies 🍪)

🌎 We Wash the Dishes

A very special thank-you to We Wash the Dishes for partnering with us again!

You make it so easy to throw a party while helping us keep things a little greener and a lot more sustainable. We are so grateful for your support and for helping us make our garden gatherings even better. ❤️🌈

If you're planning a party or gathering, check them out and let them help you do the dishes!

🌧️ A Little Help From Mother Nature

And then there was Mother Nature...

She held off the rain just long enough to let us make it happen, while giving the garden just enough water to make everything glow. 🌿🌧️✨

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.

Three bands. A port-a-let. A garden full of stars. And SO much love.

Thank you to everyone who came, danced, listened, laughed, ate, helped, celebrated, and made Garden Party IV so special.

Our hearts—and our tummies—are still full. ❤️🥰

Until next year... keep following your stars! ⭐️🌈🎶
