Friday, Baby L got some mail (just in time for her birthday) from her great-grandparents. My Ma (we call them Ma and Pa) had had surgery (kidney removed, actually) not too long ago and wasn’t quite feeling up to the party. So, she sent a card and money…and here’s L with it on her Birthday Eve (and yes, I totally just made that word up).
Lorelei loves money, but as you can see…not as much as she does her cards. 
Happy First Birthday, Baby Girl!! Look what mommy and daddy got you!
A Crayola Colorfall Sudsworks! –I’ll review this one later…but let’s just say I am NOT happy with it. Crayola is about to get a nice and lovely letter.
THE PARTY!
When: 12 Noon
Where: Mimi’s (my mom’s) house
What: Lorelei’s Bday Party (ONE YEAR)
Decorations: giant pom-poms hung from the ceiling in different shades of pink and lime green (handmade), lime green tablecloths, and a pink bouquet (stargazer lillies and pink roses).
Food: Pink Lemonade and bottled water. Grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and toasted buns (which were awesome - Steven has mad skills on the grill). Chips. Baked Beans. Strawberry Cupcakes with a Strawberry Glaze, some Cool Whip, and chocolate dipped strawberries on top.
Who (the people who showed):
Me, Steven, and Lorelei (duh)
Mimi and Gramps (my parents)
Grams (my grandmother) and the original Gramps (in spirit)
Josh and Katelynn (My bro and his lovely gf)
Aunt Sheila and Uncle Ben
Aunt Phyllis
Grandpa (Steven’s dad…aka Bill)
MaryKate and Kamryn
Aunt Teresa, Kandi, and Hope
Carrie and Bella
and Uncle Wally even took a break from hunting to swing in and wish the birthday girl lots of fun…
Her Outfit: the dress I made for her (and pants and a LS shirt for warmth)
This look. Yep, that’s pretty much the look we got while singing her Happy Birthday. She wasn’t quite sure what was going on.
Blow out the candle!! Or not.
Let’s play in the cake…
And in it goes…
Mmm…Cool Whip.
Oh ho!!!!!

I love the first pic with her & the money. haha Teach her early, Ash!
That outfit you made Lorelei is soo cute! You seriously need to sell these. I’d totally buy one! (or trade..*wink*)

I am going to start trying to craft at least one thing a week. And then put some of it in my “etsy ” store…OR I might just skip the fees and put them on this site lol and ppl can email me for them. lol.

Oh how crappy a blog friend I am to have missed this post! Happy belated birthday to l’il L. Those cupcakes looked good. And I think the pics of of her eating her mini cake also means the cake was ok too!
