life as a photo

yesterday was laykin's birthday party.... she will be 5 on monday dec. 10th.
she had a great time. she was surprised by her friend ali that lives in springfield.
all her her grandparents were her and my grandparents, aunts and uncles, laykins friend adriane and her mom andrea. it was a great time and laykin was so sad to see her party come to an end and everyone start to leave. here are the pictures from her special day!
my baby's 5... booohooo..

the cake.
she just had to have these birthday flowers and took about 5 minutes to pick out just the perfect bouquet.
she huffed and puffed...
and then got embarrassed when everyone clapped.
yummy...
and the best time.... presents! just look at that excitement.

and as always, with her birthday there is always a christmas tree in the background.

oh.... what is this???

this was hilarious... she spotted me wrapping her presents last week and one was in a tea box... so, she knew what that one was... tea bags. i of coarse wasnt telling her any different. she went on and on all week about how she couldnt wait to open her teabags, she was gonna have her very own teabags so she could make her own tea. she seriously went on and on about them. so, when the time came to open the "teabags" she already knew what they were and was telling everyone " i know whats in here" so, she opens them and is surprised to see pjs and ballerina house slippers. not only surprised, but disappointed. it was so funny... this is her " hey, this isnt teabags"... heehee
