LeLe's First Birthday Party!

Tonight was LeLe's first birthday party! Man! I cannot believe how fast this year has come and gone. I cannot believe that my little angel is already almost one! We invited several of our closest friends to come and join on the festivities. Due to the time of year, I invited several different families mostly folks who didn't even know each other. The party turned out to be so much fun (if I do say so myself). I wasn't really prepared for the chaos though. I had everything planned out (I know...you probably all ready knew that!). Festivities were to start at 5:30. Eat and paint ornaments until 6:15, Sing Happy Birthday around 6:20, Santa arrives at 6:45 and then concluding around 7:30.

Okay...well, let me start off saying that there was a miscommunication and the pottery painting lady didn't get to the house until around 6:20. So, all of the guests (all 64 of them) hung out upstairs. Around 6:25, we all headed downstairs for the festivities. Santa appeared around 6:45 and was HUGE hit! After Santa made his exit, we sang Happy Birthday (where LeLe screamed bloody murder).

LeLe was not at ALL interested in her birthday cake. She was more concerned about all of these folks singing and looking at her. So, she screamed and screamed and screamed. So much so, she had to go upstairs to cool down while the other children ate the precious cake.

Special thanks to my sister who helped me put everything together, Lauren for helping with LeLe and my good friend Mark who took pictures!

I hope to add some more pictures soon! Happy Birthday my little angel!

Happy Birthday LeLe! Hannah went through that exact same thing with the singing, she would scream her head off and when she got a little older, she'd yell at us "NO SINGING!".
