Saylor's birthday always sneaks up on me....school is starting, summer is over, Labor Day is upon us, football season has started....and then BAM, one more party to put on! So, because my brother was coming into town, we moved her party to Labor Day weekend. And, because I was a poor planner, we didn't have a "big party" with friends....Saylor just had a couple friends over after school one day! And, then of course, we had her actual birthday with just us. It literally seemed like the birthday that would never end. : ) But, she loved every minute of everything!
Here are a few photos from the family party, where Lettie was the real star!
Her favorite gifts included: apron, American Girl Cookbook, LOL surprise doll things, new clothes, playdoh, art stuff! The best part was when she cried when she got her cookbook! Hahah! She'd been wanting a kids cookbook all summer and I refused to buy her one! She was SOOOO happy!!! So, now I have to choose a recipe. And, she had outgrown her apron so she's thrilled to get an apron her size!
For Saylor's friend gathering, I booked a little time at a bakery and Miss Nini helped them make cupcakes in a jar. I had found aprons in the dollar aisle and the girls put those on and made cupcakes. It was set up really cute. Girls are so different in the car....they did not stop talking!! And, at the bakery, they giggled the majority of the time! The girls were pretty sweet and easy to accommodate! When we got home, they played, and we then put together cookies in a jar for them to take home!
She got some cute gifts: a chocolate pen, a unicorn bath set, and some hair bows/ties! She's a lucky little girl!
And, lastly....the actual day of her birthday! We had a little breakfast celebration and gave her our gifts! We got her two new puppets, another cookbook, and some Girl Scout oven baking mixes! She was thrilled with everything!
Finally...she's offically seven, the celebrations are over, and we have some new stuff to play with around here! Happy Birthday to our sweet Saylor!
