HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZARA! Our week of celebrations!

Comment Published at 04:4804:4816 comments16 comments73 Visits73 VisitsReport

My baby girl turned ONE on Tuesday! 1! Honestly, where did that time go? It honestly feels just like a few months, not a whole year. I am kinda sad, she is my baby and she is growing up so fast I feel like I am missing it somehow!

So for the weekend before her birthday Daniels parents, sister and niece came to help us party! We had a great time, so much fun and laughter. Caitlin and Mackenzie played so well together and Zara was rapt with all of the attention! We dont get to see his sister and niece very often as they are in Melbourne so it was great to be able to spend some time with them. Plus it was lovely for Zara to get so spoiled!



Her actual birthday was on Tuesday, so my parents came up for the day and Caitlin stayed home from daycare so we could all spend the day together. The plan was to go to the Lake for lunch and a play but the weather put a stop to that! So we just chilled inside. Zara got even more presents and a second cake! LOL! Although I'm not sure how much she actaully likes cake, luckily I do!



Then to top it all off we had a mothers group party for her. I decided to have it as dress up and Zara was a tiger and Caitlin was a japanese beauty. I love dress ups! The kids all came dressed up, and although it was still pretty windy they all had a ball and were excited to be able to get outside! I made an Iggle Piggle cake as that is Zaras toy of choice to sleep with and I think I did an alright job, you could tell who it was, when I put the doll next to it anyway!

And these are some of my favourite picture of both the girls from the last week. And of her 3 cakes! What a lucky little girl!



It has been an action packed week, I am glad that it is over, but still sad at the same time. They are growing up too fast!

Jeez, you have been busy!  The collages look awesome, and i also can't believe Zara is a year old!  Are you sure?!  LOL!  Time flies when you are having fun, so you must be having a ball with your two little angels :)

No way, how could it possibly be a year already?!  It seems like I was just telling you how sexy you looked pregnant!  Your family always sounds so ace, your catchups are such fun.  I love the collages, it is a great way to snapshot big events and lots of photos, I especially like the pictures of Zara & Caitlin in the last one on the top left with cakey faces ; )

It was funny, with Caitlin I was really looking forward to it and so proud of every milestone, but I dont want Zara to do anything or grow up at all! She needs to be a baby for abit longer!

Oh I was hoping you would go for the homemade one of Iggle Piggle (the blue monster looking one!)

They were all really yummy cakes, and luckily we had some volunteers to help eat them!
