Breakfast reminds me . . .

So, as I sit here and eat my breakfast consisting of a leftover birthday cupcake and glass of milk. *grin* I realize I haven't posted about Little Pumpkin's birthday! What a terrible mom I am.

It all began Saturday morning with a visit to the mailbox! There was a package and as Daddy Lion set it on her lap Little Pumpkin exclaimed "A present for ME, from GRANDMA!?!"

Saturday evening we headed to an indoor play area for her party! She had a blast and I had a blast not worrying about cleaning house before or after or running around gathering all the necessities for a party. They even provided the cake: So worth it!

Got to get every last inch of icing! Cake? What cake?
Anyone recognize the shirt?
I think 4 little girls wore this before her! Thanks for sharing Cheryl!

I don't know why we really bother to purchase any gifts for our children! Between grandparents, aunts, and friends . . . they got it made! *wink* I loved watching the excitement on her face for each gift and the unprompted thank yous that came after each one! Such a proud mommy lion! (thanks Tia and Rachel for taking pictures for me!)

I think this is so sweet all the little girls gathering around to see! I was pleasantly surprised that Little Pumpkin did not boss any of them; at least during present time! *smile*

Our birthday twin, AJ. We celebrated with her on Friday.

My Nanny was able to come over. So good to see her and get a generation shot (even if we are missing a link ~ love you dad).
Happy Birthday Little Pumpkin!
Now you're "pree" (three in Little Pumpkinese)!
