Deedee, Gigi, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Diego, and cousins Adrian and Alicia got to come over to spend part of the weekend with us to celebrate Ivy’s first birthday. We love having everyone over! All the rooms were filled and sounds of the little ones playing and laughing together made the time together even sweeter.

Sweet Ivy on the day before she turned one

Love this picture of these two!

Leia rocking with Gigi

The baby girls in the floor playing with Deedee

While Adrian and Leia focused on each other

Ivy watched Alicia walk all over the house and kept standing but needed a little help to keep her balance

Mommy wanted a good picture of the girls in their dresses

Ivy was not coroporating but I love how Leia was doing exactly what mommy said trying to get a picture and ignoring her sister’s protest

 She just wanted to play with Alicia; Alicia did not try moving her unwillingly 😉

 

Aunt Kelly was cool and brought big kids water balloons

This was Leia’s first time to play with them

She watched to see what Adrian did then copied him

Adrian threw it at Leia

Leia threw one back at him

Then the real fun began since they had the hang of it

   

Picture op

Uncle Diego told Adrain to get Aunt Lisa

So aunt Lisa had Leia get uncle Diego 🙂

After more fun outside Deedee gave the kids a bath before Leia wanted to play dress up

Adrian wanted a pirate costume but made due with what we had … we will have to get a pirate one for when you visit … thanks for playing with Leia anyways

 Then Leia grabbed the camera

She wanted to take more pictures downstairs so she did

   

I must say she did a great job! (Leia took the previous 5 pictures herself without any help)

The kids all had a great time playing together!

 

While the big kids all played on the electronics (at least this is what they did while the kids were going down for bed)
