Celebrating 1

We celebrated Lasa's birthday this weekend with our favorite people over BBQ and fresh veggies, sweet tea, water guns, bounce house, board games, backyard romping til dark and then after that still, and, of course, cake!



I made my first ever icing and my first ever pull-apart cake ...


 and both efforts turned out well!  It was delish! There were only 2 cupcakes leftover by the end of the night.


Lasa was a doll looking round the room taking it all in as we all sang to her.



And she was not shy about getting down to business once the cupcake was set in front of her.  She demolished it and enjoyed every last bite, smear, smash, and lick.











She was thrilled to be handed more books for her birthday.  She knows just what to do with those - find any and all flaps and destroy them.


While we all hung out, Lasa got cozy with anyone within reach.  Especially those who indulged her when she reached for their phone.


While the kiddos played, we adults enjoyed the down time to catch up since it has been way too long since we all got together.  We hashed out some ideas for Fall Break plans together again and broke out some Apples to Apples.  It was funny when the kids followed suit and pulled out board games of their own. :)


My sister and her family were here for the day as well, but somehow I only thought to take pics of this sleepy Miss. 


Anyway, back to the birthday girl.  'Twas a fitting and simple celebration to wrap up LasaGirl's first year as well as the end of summer! 


Happy Birthday - again - LasaLove!

It looks and sounds like Miss Sassafras and her peeps had a great day celebrating!

I like it! Sassafrass. We call her Toot and Ms. Thang half the time. I think I will work a little Sassy in the rotation.

Such a fun party for your fun girl! And such great photos to mark the occasion!!! So glad your sister and crew could join you. :-) Rebeka loved looking at these pictures and said we should print one of Lasa to hang on her wall. Apparently someone has been listening as I talk about printing out photos of her cousins. ;-)

You will have to tell Rebeka we just so happen to have a picture of her on OUR wall, too! (It's that great pic of y'all in the Avant card you passed us when you were here last. I love it!)
