Last year in the single digits! This time last year was the last time that we saw our family all together for a long time! We finally felt it was safe to have everyone come over. Most are vaccinated and we're finally seeing light at the end of the pandemic tunnel!
Laila loves American Girl dolls right now. She loves all of the accessories and organizing all of their clothes and play sets so we decided on an American Girl doll themed party.
Laila also loves to bake with me and she's getting pretty good at it! She wanted to try a piñata cake filled with all of her favorite candies so that's what I made. It was fun and everyone anticipated the cutting and the 'explosion.'
We had walking tacos, her favorite and a special guest - Papa! First time we've seen him in person in a year! We were so excited to see him and I think he was glad to get out and enjoy the day too.
Laila also got to go to a paint class with her good friend Genevieve. They had a lot of fun and their paintings turned out great!
Laila got lots of accessories for her dolls including a travel set, camping set, matching Girl Scout uniforms and pajamas; she loves the matching outfits! Her favorite though was the Jeep! Now she has what she needs to pull her camper - they're off to the beach!
This year Laila has been the student of the month at school and has been the top cookie seller in her Girl Scout troop. We are so proud of the young lady you're growing up to be. You're always so helpful and happy; I love that about you.
Happy 9th to my first baby.
xoxo, Mom
