Leah's 7th Birthday (pt 2)

Leah's birthday party at the cabin included:
More rubber duck games!

Duck toss

Bob for ducks

Look at this awesome picture I took of Leah playing in the pool!

I convinced Leah to ride with my dad and Jon into the city to get parts for a project.
While she was gone Nanny, Katie, Braydon, Alex, Caleb and I decorated the playhouse for her birthday.

Waiting for the birthday girl to make her entrance!

After a little bit of drama (caused by one of her 7 balloons popping when she got out of the truck) I spilled the beans to Leah about a surprise party so she would actually stop sulking and go into the playhouse. Once she saw all the decorations and presents we was all smiles!

She got stickers, a shirt and candy from Katie and Braydon
An Easy Bake Oven and mixes from Nanny and Papa

And a whole bunch of Smurfs, Smurf DVD, Smurf book, and Smurf coloring book from mom and dad.

We at birthday cake and Play-Doh ice cream for dessert

Leah's 7th Birthday (pt 1)

Leah's birthday celebrations started with a small lunch and party with our good friends (The Kruegers), my sister-in-law (Katie), nephew (Braydon), and Aunt Denise

We ate little sandwiches, watermelon and ate the cupcakes I made to go along with her Rubber Duckie birthday cake

After lunch we played some rubber duck games
(matching games with stars on the bottom of the ducks)

Leah was spoiled with awesome gifts!
