Leah's birthday party

Well, I don't want to fall too far behind in my blogging. So here are some photos from Leah's 3rd birthday, which was, eeeek....two weeks ago. Shame on me, bad blogger. We really had a great time, seeing family and having them meet Madeline Bei for the first time. Caleb and Leah get along so well. It's always great to get them together. We are so excited to have finally added another cousin to the bunch, especially since Leah and Madeline Bei are only 6 months apart in age.

What I didn't share last time about the party was how much effort my sweet sister put in to it. She made ALL the decorations, table runner, party favors, thank you cards. She is so talented. And the love she has for her daughter really shows. Anyway, here are some photos. Happy 3rd birthday, Leah Rose!

The birthday girl

My sister, Deb, made this beautiful birthday banner! Patrick told her she's hired for Caleb's next birthday!

What would a birthday party be without your friends helping you open all your presents?

Leah and friends eagerly waiting to light the birthday cake and blow out the candles. Leah told her mommy, "My cake needs fire." LOL.

Cousins and best friends

No your eyes aren't deceiving you. After some guests left the party, the kids starting riding the tricycles through the house. Madeline Bei got in on the trike action too.
