Birthday Party #1

My children's birthdays are so very important to me, as they are to any mother.  When we were planning the timing of our move, I really wanted to be back no later than Eliza's actual birthday.  For many reasons I won't bore you with, it just wasn't possible and I was crushed.  We would be home the weekend following her birthday (on a Wednesday) and would celebrate then with family.  The ever thoughtful Leroux Family hosted a first birthday for Eliza that was exceptionally special and made me feel so much better about not being home for her birthday.

 Olivia and Mimi had a little gift exchange.  Olivia picked out a purple (Mimi's favorite color) Barbie for Mimi.  She was THRILLED to give it to her!


 Olivia was EXHAUSTED from all of the moving and activities and had a major meltdown because she didn't get a Barbie back from Mimi.  It was hilarious.  I was crying from laughing so very hard!



 She LOVED the cupcake!


HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sweet Eliza!!
