Big first birthday wishes to Sylvie Nowell! Sylvie celebrated turning one over the weekend with a home full of her family and friends. The party theme was “tennis” and had beautiful floral arrangements with both pink and yellow tennis balls in the vases. There was a ball cage, court layout and tennis rackets galore! Both her paternal and maternal great~grandmothers (Sylvia Fant, her namesake, and Lola Dickerson, respectfully) played tennis, as well as her maternal grandmother, Dianene Fant, and mama, Lauralee Nowell. Party attendees enjoyed a fun bouncy house, a variety of amazing party fare and of course cake and ice cream! Sylvie is the daughter of Lauralee and Taylor Nowell and the granddaughter of Dianene and David Fant.
