We concluded supper with cupcakes and singing. Little One took it upon herself to conduct us in our performance of the Happy Birthday song. It was hilarious. She waved those arms with intention and conviction. Oh, the joy she brings us!
The pretty birthday packages had been resting on the mantel for about a week. Little One had eyed them early on and was certainly patient as she waited to find out what was inside. She was pretty keyed up when she saw NayNay and Papaw's gift of a play kitchen and tearing into the gifts made it even better!
Saturday's party didn't dissapoint. I had to wake her just before guests began arriving. As her BFF and first party go-er walked up the driveway, LO could see her through the back door. She squeeled in delight saying, "they came! They came!!!" One of my favorite pictures of the day is of LO and her grandmothers helping her down the steps to greet her friend.
We had tons of littles running around, celebrating the life of our girl. We strung beaded necklaces and planted seeds in tiny pots. We even had a special guest, Bunny, who sat ever so sweetly in her cage. It was the most beautiful day the Lord gave us. A great day to celebrate life!
*sadly, there are zero pictures of the birthday girl with her mama. or her Bobo (my mom). you mamas out there....be intentional about the pictures you take! arg!*

Love the bunnies, your delicate details, and the sweet expressions on your little birthday girl. I've gotta tell you, a little one with thighs and jowls is quite a precious, heart-warming sight. I'm quite partial, myself. :)
This looks like a wonderful party and it's so beautiful to see your pictures capturing your daughter's joy. Love it!
Love and miss that sweet girl!!! You outdid yourself! Everything was beautiful!!!!
What a beautiful, fun, sweet celebration! Perfect!
I'm loving your collages. The pictures are beautiful. :)
It looks like you had some wonderful parties. Belated happy birthday to your little miss! That photo of her standing on the doorstep is precious - so excited they are at this age!
