Laela’s First Birthday Party: Part 2

Behold, pictures of supper, cake eating, and gift opening. Trust me, I could have gone crazy with pictures again, so when you’re looking at them saying “These all look the same…” I poured over it and picked the very best ones, even if only a mother can see the difference. Our little birthday princess was having a riot!

The rest of us rocked Cars party hats, in honour of the other amazing baby we have at home!

We will definitely be buying more. I like that they look like water bottles too rather than sippy cups.DSC_0625 DSC_0630 Learning.DSC_0644 DSC_0664 DSC_0665 Happy with her new baby.

I love her. It was a wonderful day of celebration. I can’t imagine my life without Laela. While I’m finally starting to feel the little kicks of the next baby, I still can’t get enough of the two I have at home. I’m so thankful we’re built in a way that our love multiplies rather than divides with each little one. One is not overshadowed by the other. I adore these goobers.

No big group birthday party this year, but definitely the best birthday year yet!
