BIRTHDAYS

Phew, I can't remember when I last blogged. Looks like I need to remember how to change my background to a winter scene.

We did have a couple of birthdays in October. Leah was born two days after me, so we had a great week of celebrations.

She was such a sweet girl she even helped with the cleaning fresh from her shower.

Here is her cupcake outfit. It was a little big, 24 months. Only size we could find.The presents were great, a horsie, stroller, stuffed animals, cupcakes of course.

One of Leah's favorite things are the musical cards that cost $5.oo, but she still received at least 4 of those, one from each of her great grandmas.

Uncle Adam seemed to enjoy himself. The got Leah the sweetest cat outfit along with the rocking horse that took two grown men to put together.

A collection of 1st Birthday party hats which we couldn't get her to wear.
This is so cute, and we will take the number one off next year and actually use.

These were her table settings. Sarah did a lolipop theme and served all sorts of old fashioned candy. Everyone received there own lolipop also.

This was the big cake. So cute.

Leah blowing out her 1 candle. Did I do that right? She didn't quite know what to do with the cake.

Her own lolipop cake. At the end of the day she was exhausted. Turns out she went to the Doctors the next day and had her first ear infection. Ouch! Here she is arriving for Grammy's birthday celebration. She looks pretty excited.

The first present they gave me was an edible bouquet. I just loved it.

Gram and Leah gave a concert while we waited for Pops to come home.

Then off to the Mongolian BBQ for our dinner out. I actually had stir fry while Leah seemed to enjoy the bottle the best.

Off for Kilwins for ice cream.Wait a minute, a quick detour to the new store we found in AA, a cupcake shop.This is the dozen we picked out. It was after 8:00, so they had a special buy one get one free.Of course, that didn't stop us from heading to Kilwins anyways. Some one was able to serve themselves. The next day we were having hot lunch at the school, so we made little Rice Krispie lolipops for the dessert and treat to the kids at school to celebrate Leah's birthday.

Happy belated to both of you.

Where were you that you could be out in just shirt sleeves?

Love Leah's brown polka dot dress and cupcake outfit. Goes right with her birthday theme too. Really cute cake.

Have a wonderful Christmas this week. It'll be so much fun now that Leah is older.

Lots of snow and very cold here today in Southern New England.
