Birthday Celebrations

On the day of her birthday Jake had to work and I had a full day of teaching preschool and piano lessons, so we kept it pretty low key (and it's not like she really knew what was going on anyway!). After preschool we met up with my friend Kylee and Haley and their two little boys at the mall to have Chik-Fil-A and to play! After I got done teaching piano we went and picked up Jake and we all headed out to dinner. I feel like it was a big reason to celebrate for surviving our first year as being parents! We came home and let Lexie open up a couple of small gifts (baby doll, and a little caterpillar xylephone thing)  and then she was off to bed and no longer our little baby!

 I waited to have a birthday party because Jake's parents and younger brother were coming into town a couple weeks after her birthday so we wanted them to be there for her celebration! We just kept it simple and invited all my family and Jake's family and friends to the park to have some good food and fun! Lexie LOVES the park because she can walk wherever she wants and that is her favorite thing to do. After dinner and some playing at the park it was time for the pinata! All the kids got a turn to swing and they loved collecting the candy and prizes. We had cupcakes for dessert and sang to our little princess and it was such a fun day. Thanks to our families for the gifts and all the help!
