A lil Mad Hatter Tea

Leah wanted to have a small tea party for her birthday this year. She picked out pink and black as her theme colors and left the rest to me. Leah loves Alice in Wonderland and especially the Mad Hatter.

 

Lil Bro's 1st Birthday Party

We threw a Dr. Seuss themed 1st birthday party for Louis. The weather was questionable, lots of rain, doom looming but everyone made it out.

Leah looked beautiful in her Dr. Seuss theme outfit.



Leah's fave table of food...dessert!


Best kids around- beautiful too :)

The End of the Birthday Week

Always feels like Leah's birthday is celebrated for at least a week. I love how excited she is about her birthday. She is a great kid and deserves every bit of it.

We had her birthday bbq today. It was nice to have everyone over. She had her two friends and they played, went swimming and ate a lot of junk food together.

Party Time

We went to a birthday party for one of Leah's classmates this morning. It was held at Just Fabulous & Outrageous Events. It was a glamour party where the girls get dressed up & have their nails, make-up & hair done. There is music and dancing, and at the end a run way fashion show. This was Leah's second time there. We had a great time.

Afterward we hit up Toys R US & Babies R Us for some shopping. Then we went to Olive Garden for a late lunch/early dinner. We filled up on good food and delicious desserts. After being cooped up inside for what seems like forever due to the cold weather it was nice to get out for the afternoon.

5th Birthday Party

Today was spent at White Post Farms celebrating Leah's birthday with family and friends. It turned out to be the perfect summer day. Mid to high 70s, no humidity and no rain.

Pony rides, petting zoo, baby animals,train ride, pizza and tons of fun.











Tiny teeny lil baby goat the kids were able to see, pet and hold. About a day old.





Bunny the kids were able to hold.



Leah seemed to enjoy everything she did for the day. She was smiling the whole time.



Bottle feeding the animals.


Yummy birthday cake, farm theme.


After the party Leah changed into her bathing suit and played on the bouncers and water slides at the farm with her friends Mayah & Delilah and her cousin Kain.








White Post Farms has great playgrounds for their guests.


Following the farm we headed back home for an evening bbq with the family. A relaxing night of catching up with family and enjoying each other's company. George and Matt handled the grill and we had an ice cream cake for Leah.







After cake the kids went out to play in the playground. Where do they get all this energy?! Thank goodness for Uncle Keith & Titi Leilani. They ran around with them for quite a while.



Leah enjoyed playing with her cousin Kain's swords and knives.


Leah said it was the best birthday party day yet.

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY KAIN!

Kain turned 5 today!!! We had a great time at his party.

There were lots of family and friends. Many people from the old neighborhood we grew up with in the Bronx. Most are now married and have children of their own. It was nice to have all of us together, watching our kids play with one another.

Time flies.

5th Birthday Information.

Leah wants to have her birthday part at the local farm. Would you believe they already have parties booked for August? I reserved her party date for August 8th.

Happy 60th Grandpa!

Today was Grandpa George's Surprise 60th birthday party.

Leah hammed it up for the camera a bit.

Leah's 4th Birthday Luau Party

Mayah's Birthday!

Today was Mayah's Birthday party. Mayah is a friend that Leah has made here on our complex. Her parents are awesome and she is a wonderful little girl. When we first met the family Leah was Mayah's age and now Leah will be 4 in a few months and Mayah turned 3. The birthday party was at a local My Gym. The place is awesome. The party hosts were great and all the kids had a wonderful time. Leah can't wait to go back.

We snapped some pics of her in the car on the way home. She got this little bottle of water and was having a blast drinking the water. She really enjoys drinking water, definitely a good thing.

Now if we can only break her of her terribly bad habit of always needing to find comfort in biting her nails! As shown in the second picture, she loves her fingers.
