Birthday pictures

Finally getting around to posting some Birthday pictures. God bless her, she had no idea what this Birthday stuff was all about. I'm glad I decided not to have a big party too. It really would have been too much for her. We were lucky cuz Grandad L was here for her actual Birthday. He and MeMe gave Abby a panda bu*ld a be*r. Meme made the Tutu.



Yep, I think she likes her :)




And here are a few of her daycare Birthday party. Really! What was I thinking??? All the kids, including Abby were kind of stunned through out the whole thing. Here below is my Abba passing out the cups to her classmates.






I ordered cupcakes with Elmo for her. She immediately pulled the cars of the cake.






Then they dug in :)




So that was that. I brought punch balloons and goody bags for them. The teachers wouldn't let them have them until they went home :(


So that was on her actual Birthday. Below was her family Birthday party at Meemas. I made her an Einstein Cake. She liked it but again wasn't too sure what all of the fuss was all about. And was a little cautious.




Just noticing that I left out the H in Birthday :)






The Birthday Girl.



When we lit the candle it scared her.





Man I was purdy that day (not!) Note to self put on make up and do your hair for special occasions.





All she wanted was the rocket :)






Little one had, I think, one bite of cake. She just wanted to play Einstein :)




We celebrated Sam's (daughter of my brothers fiance)Birthday too :)


Cousin Joshua :)



Last we did presents. Again, she was just a little over whelmed.



Sissy helped her out.



Do you see a theme here?



Josh and Elmo.




I Love my little Birthday girl:) I'll leave ya with two videos. One with cousin Josh and Elmo and one with my little Abba Birthday girl. Enjoy :)

Elmo, anyone?

Very cute.

Never fear, she'll get the hang of what birthdays are all about soon enough ;0)

WOW! The L.E. cake is impressive! You look great, BTW. Who would have had time for make-up with all the prep you did?! What a grand mommy you are! Abby is so beautiful, too. Those lips are the sweetest red! Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Glad Abby had such a wonderful birthday!

What a great time for Abby. I still have to ask where did this child come from, she can't possibly have changed this much in almost 10 mos. So proud of you in all of this and absolutely adore Abba. Meema and Da

I'm sensing an Elmo love affair here! Looks like Abby had a lovely time even if it was a little overwhelming at first. I'm sure she'll be a pro at partying before you know it!

HA HA HA! I did the same thing when we celebrated my husband's 50th birthday. I made a very large banner that said, "HAPPY BIRTDAY DADDY" No "H"...hung the banner for all to see...and I have a BA in English!

The sad thing is that very few people even noticed.

Your daugher is lovely. Congratulations on having her first birthday with her family!
