GUNCLES

The entire day was spent with one eye on the entrance awaiting her arrival.

Tue August 4

To say that emotions were running high on the morning of Stella's first birthday party would be an understatement. After all, Tori really wore her heart on her sleeve when she sent the invitation over to her Mom and since the RSVP came back as a "Yes", we figured then she must be coming! The entire day was spent with one eye on the entrance awaiting her arrival, as we really didn't know whether she would come or not because of the unexpected RSVP. Well, as you all know now, she didn't come to the party. So you can guess who missed out?!

Stella's party was sensational (period!). A first class, stylish, ladybug themed first birthday party for the Princess Buggy. With everything from a "decorate your own cookie" station to a bug petting zoo, there were enough activities to last an entire weekend. Stella had a blast! Of course, Liam also had an amazing time. When they rolled out the gigantic ladybug cake, Dean let Liam speak into the microphone and what did he say... his favorite birthday word... "CAKE!". It always puts a big smile on our faces to watch Stella and Liam "go at" a birthday cake and smear the icing everywhere. Don't we all wish we could do that as adults too!
