*la fiesta

We had a fun, simple little party for Edie with a few friends and neighbors. She, of course, had no clue, but definitely had a great time.

waiting for the guests to arrive:



Below is Edie's newest baby friend, Jubilee. That night when we prayed before dinner, thanking God for Edie, Vera interrupted saying she needed to tell Jesus one more thing: "and thank you for baby Jubilee" :) Edie is sometimes interested in the baby and sometimes doesn't see her at all :) It's been fun seeing the age gap close between her and Fiona [above, center]. It makes me so happy to see my girls connect and have little friends.



Some coconut cupcakes frozen from Vera's party, some carrot cake from my bday and a few store-bought chocolate cupcakes - nice and easy :)

She thought about the chocolate for a minute, but opted for the Barefoot Contessa coconut - that's my girl! It was quite a big cupcake, but she ate the entire thing.



I've had this felt for like 3 years and about an hour before the party thought I'd make a little birthday headband. It took literally 5 minutes! She looked pretty cute.

Vera was so happy for it to be Edie's birthday - such a great big sister.

So many wonderful pictures! for so many happy, happy times! Voovie's hair's gotten really long. I love her determined stride in the first picture. A little lady with places to go, people to see! Fun to see Edie with her doggies. Did she like her book, too?
