We started the day off with tons of shopping (again...) and Bana bought Allie the CUTEST birthday outfits - yes...that was plural. She will have 3 wardrobe changes for Saturday. Like an MC at an awards show. But it will be cute.
I caught a few of these pics this morning as Allie was waking up from her nap. Such a happy girl!
She just seriously doesn't know how adorable she is, but then again, they never do!
Since Bana can't stay for Allie's one year celebration on Saturday, we decided to have a pre-birthday celebration. We headed to Villa Europa - a little favorite German restaurant - for our celebration. Allie had an Elmo cupcake that didn't survive very long! She didn't smoosh though...she very daintily ate the icing and we had to smoosh for her! If this is a sign of Saturday's smoosh event...we'll need to do a little more practicing!!
It was super funny as we sang happy birthday to Allie...the table next to us quietly sang along with us! We shared cupcakes with the Lannom's and Bana and Baby Grayson slept the entire time! Thank you Kyle, Jennifer, Logan and Grayson for coming to our pre-birthday celebration.
Thank you Bana for EVERYTHING you've done and we are so happy that you came to visit!!
It was GREAT to be there and have that precious time with you, Brad & Allie--all to myself. I know I won't let so much time lapse between visits again as Allie is changing so quickly and I don't want to miss a thing. That little girl has stolen my heart and the love I have for her is overflowing!
ReplyDeletep.s. looking forward to the party pics! AND are you going to keep the blog... it's my lifeline!
