Laila's 1st Brithday!

My computer is fixed, I have unpacked all the boxes from the move, look out I am ready to blog!
I have so much to blog about I am a little overwhelmed and I don't quite know where to begin.

The most important event that has happened was Laila's first birthday. She was the luckiest lady and got to celebrate for a few days (mostly because her dad was going to be out of town for her birthday). The first celebration was a party at the pool.



all of Laila's friends that came to celebrate with her.

Laila's first cupcake was thoroughly enjoyed!


She wants more cupcake.

Laila's only birthday picture with her dad in it.

On Sunday we had a birthday dinner for Laila so she could open presents and do the customary "eating of the cake"


After dinner Laila was ready for her cake.

Could it get any better then diving into her very own chocolate cake?!?!
PRESENTS!!
It was so fun to see Laila finally old enough to open and get excited for presents. It was a rude awakening for Aria that she was no longer able to open and play with Laila's gifts. The present that was cause of a lot of sibling contention was a baby doll from Grandma Ruthie. As soon as the doll was released from her box all HECK broke loose. You can see the look of pure TERROR in Laila's face.
After quite a spectacle from my children, Laila cuddled, kissed and fed her baby.
My baby is getting so big!
