It is hard to believe that my baby sister Paige is already 1. I remember the day mommy and daddy went to the hospital to have her, everybody was so excited, including me! Her birthday celebrations began on March 24th (her actual birthday)…mommy spent the morning with her at Wallabies with some friends, I had to go to school!
Gigi was suppose to arrive around lunch time and come pick me up from school but unfortunately her airplane kept getting delayed but luckily she made it just in time for Paige’s birthday dinner! We went to a really yummy italian restaurant, Paige’s favorite…our nice waiter also brought her an ice cream sundae with a candle in it. We all sang her happy birthday and Gigi and I helped blow out her candle!
Gigi’s suitcase was super full and she had barely any room for her own clothes because she brought us so many things. Thanks Gigi, Papa and Uncle Ryan for all of the new clothes and toys, we love all of them! She also brought down birthday gifts from our cousins the Silva’s and to no surprise we both loved our gifts, thanks so much!
We also got a chance to get on Skype with lots of people over the past few days so they could wish Paige a happy birthday! We love getting to see everyone on Skype but it just isn’t the same as seeing all of you in person, we miss everyone so much! Granny and Pop-Pop are still living in the desert so they shipped Paige some birthday gifts and she opened them while we were all on Skype together. They got her some great new toys and clothes, she wanted me to pass along a big thank you!
We had a big 1st birthday party at our house on Saturday, there was lots to do to get ready. Gigi and Mommy took Paige with them to get all the groceries for food and pick up the cake and I got to go with Daddy and get the balloons and decorations. Check out the really nice poster I made all by myself for my baby sister, not bad if I do say so myself!!!
We decorated the whole house in a 1st birthday theme, it looked great. We had 10 kids, 3 babies (1 year olds) and 15 adults at the party…all of our wonderful friends from Tennessee, who we are going to miss very much when we move back to Canada. We had a nice BBQ dinner and cake!
Check out the super cute shirt that Paige’s God Mommies had made for her…everyone kept saying how nice it was! I think she loved it!!!
Here are pics of Paige and I sitting by the door waiting for all of our friends to arrive at the party! We were both so excited we couldn’t wait for everyone to get there so we could party….
I got to play princesses and dress up with all of my friends that were at the party, it was so much fun, I had just enough dresses for all of us, all 8 little girls!!! Mommy and Gigi have been cleaning up sparkles all day…ooops!
Paige had her very own tinkerbell cake…it was my suggestion and it was just perfect! She loved having us sing her happy birthday and I am pretty sure she loved her cake even more. All of the rest of us got to dig into the really nice cupcake cake that was in the shape of a 1!
Paige sat in her very own chair while everyone watched her open her gifts, she got some cool toys and really pretty summer clothes!
Instead of doing loot bags for her party mommy decided to get a cupcake pinata and fill it up with tons of yummy treats. All of us bigger kids each got to grab a string and pull really hard, then we scrambled to the ground and picked up as much candy as we could, it was lots of fun!
Paige played strange with her “boyfriend” Grant at the beginning of the night but by the end they were having lots of fun together!
When the party was all done the house was pretty messy, everyone kept saying it looked like a tornado went through my room and our playroom downstairs, but at least we had fun!!! We must give a big thank you to Gigi for all her help cleaning up after the party, she was such a big help to Mommy, “THANKS GIGI”. We are having such a nice visit with Gigi and luckily she is here for one more week!
Today we got to see some more friends on Skype, Uncle Brodie, Auntie Carrie and Sophie…Sophie is getting so big and it was great to play with her via the computer. We also got to see Tata & Uncle Chris, they sent some presents in the mail and we opened them on Skype. We love our books, reading is one of our favorite things to do, thanks so much! It was a great Sunday and miss all of you.
Well that is all for now, hope everyone has a great week. One last thing, here is a cute video of Paige eating her birthday cake!!!
Love y’all,
Emmie and Paige
Happy Birthday to our ray of sunshine, Paige! Loved your family shot. Awesome poster, Emmie. Looks like everyone had a great time. Can't wait to see all of you! Lots of love from Granny & Pop-Pop
