Leah's Birthday Party

Apparently I 'needed' a month off from updating my blog. October has pretty much been a blur...BUT we did have some really fun events occur during the month that I will be attempting to post in the next day or two. We'll see, though...

The first big event was my little girl's birthday party!

This was the picture I used for her invitation (thanks Pintrist for the idea!!) My little girl's a bit of a ham, so she smiled pretty :)

Her party was Saturday, October 8, so I stayed up (way too late) on the 7th finishing all her little treats for the party. I think these Oreo pops were my favorite...and not too hard to do.

I was trying to do butterflies and ladybugs for the party...not sure I pulled this color combo off, but oh well. The cookies tasted good :)

Some chocolate covered pretzel ladybugs...

Party supplies

Table decorations

Goodie bags for the guests

Eli trying to sneak a bug.

The gorgeous cake-made by Krista, of course :)

Love those little ladybugs :)

Opening presents.

Getting some snuggles from the newest member of the family :)

Abuela & Abuelo got Leah a little stroller-she loves it!

The blessing that Abuela wrote for Leah. Beautiful.

A tea set from Olivia and Audrey. Olivia wanted to make sure we knew how to use it right away :) Leah loves playing with her tea set! As does Eli... Getting in the party spirit.

Getting ready for cake!! I think she's excited!

"Happy Birthday to you!"

She only had eyes for the cake

BLOW!

Our little family!

Oh so glad to be getting her cake!

I couldn't pick between all of these cake pictures...so enjoy :)

I love how excited she is in this picture...look at her stretching her foot in excitement :)

YUM!

The whole gang!

I think we need to teach our kids to look at the camera...So glad Abuelo could make it!

Edgar's cousin and family came too.

Katie getting some practice holding her cousin :)

After the party, the guys played Dominoes with Abuelo. He's pretty good at Dominoes :)

Leah enjoyed playing with her toys!

The next day she wore her new dress to church...it's a little long on her, but oh so cute :)

A fun day. I still can't believe that a whole year has gone by! She's such a sweet little girl!!
