Lily Ryan’s guinea pig themed picnic birthday pa Lily Ryan’s guinea pig themed picnic birthday party, or PIG-nic if you will 😂, was such a blast!! Party hats for everyone, lots of yummy food, and the sweetest little piggies!! Peanut Butter, Spirit, Cocoa, Summer, and Cloudy got more loving than they ever dreamed they would, and were super great sports! 🐹 

Big thanks to my friend Misty for the cute sign and my girl Taylor with @theconfetticlubco for doing so much of the setup! With the crazy week I’ve had, it wouldn’t have come together without her help. Takes a village! 😆

Lily Ry is easy to celebrate and I’m so glad she had such a fun day with her sweet friends! 💛🥳
