Turns out a little unexpected thunderstorm (I don't even think that rain was in the forecast that day) cause a little bit of a kink in the plans! There was another party going on at the same time, but under the tents instead of under the pavilion with us, and since their decorations and setup was destroyed during the short little storm, we invited them to split the pavilion with us. Extreme heat, wet decorations, about 25 party guests and an extremely pregnant mama......Need I say more?
Despite the thunderstorm and heat, Brooklee had a great time and got to do three of her favorite things: play with Sage and Grandad, eat cupcakes and open presents! Here are some fun photos from her party:
Yummy cupcakes! I made the decorations several weeks before time for the party just in case we had the baby early and I wouldn't be able to get them done. I wanted to make the cupcakes, but changed my mind at the last minute....to much stress with my due date so close to the party!
Sage and Brooklee playing (right after she ate a cupcake and had icing all over her face). Even though they are just cousins, they act more like brother and sister, and many times people assume they are twins.
Opening up presents! Brooklee got some great gifts from some really awesome people!
After the party she enjoyed playing with all of her toys.
Her very own laptop (and it can get fake emails from Mommy, Daddy and Sage) and her own special chair.
The LeapFrog Tag Junior set (in purple).
Her new Dora doll and a baby stroller to push her in.
I think that we are lucky that I was so pregnant at the time of her birthday, otherwise I would have been a sentimental wreck! My baby is growing up WAY too fast!!!
