A Magical Age: Leah’s 3rd Birthday

October 16, 2012January 5, 2013Leave a comment

No longer a baby, but not quite a big kid – that’s what 3 years old is, and as far as I can remember, it was a pretty fun time. Adorable little Leah is the epitome of fun. At this unique indoor playground with full-sized contraptions of all sorts, Leah jumped and climbed on and over all of them, the swing being her most favorite spot to hang out. This gal is an absolute ham, and I have enjoyed watching her grow up to be such a wonderful little tot, just like her older sister, mom and dad (who aren’t tots, but they’re wonderful just the same).

Leah took after Abby Gadabby for her third birthday celebration, with pigtails and a friendly smile to match =)

And one more thing – her party favors? A fish for each kid, home and care instructions included.

Not So Terrible Two: Henry’s 2nd Birthday

I was there to celebrate Henry’s 1st birthday last September, and suddenly, there I was when he turned two years old. My boss, Nicole (Henry’s mom), didn’t plan a huge event, but she and her husband nonetheless wanted to make sure Henry knew how special that day was. After work, I scooted to their house for a late afternoon session, and their place was decorated with streamers and balloons. Gifts in bright wrap as well as brown boxes sent from across the miles, sat on the living room tabletop. Henry got a sandbox from his mom and dad and I will never forget his face when he walked into the patio. His Nana (Nicole’s mom) was visiting from Pennsylvania for the weekend and, through the magic of technology, Grammy and Pop were just a skype session away.

He’s such a ball of energy and it’s so fun being able to see him grow up.

Onderland: Natalia’s 1st Birthday

Cutie patootie to the nth degree – that’s little Natalia aka Lia. She’s got one of those faces that you can’t help falling in love with. As soon as she flashes that smile – it’s over, you can have whatever you want, little girl! hahaha!

Her first birthday, organized by my awesome gal pals from FabFour Events, was a celebration in Onederland, complete with tea party table sets, a table of sweet goodies from Theresa’s Custom Cakes (my friend Theresa from college – UCI woohoo!), a photobooth, not to mention an appearance from Alice herself.

Lia was surrounded by nothing but happiness and joy that day – the perfect backdrop for such a sweet little girl!
