HOT WHEELS PARTY!!!!!!

a few months ago, when we started talking about luc's upcoming birthday, he declared his heart's wish was a HOT WHEELS PARTYYYYYY!!! he saw these balloons at party city way back then, and never forgot them, he talked about them all the time. so we got the balloons and a piñata and i put hot wheels cars on his cake, and he was in HEAVEN. he's pretty easy to please :) he told me his cake was 'super beautiful!' and that he LOVED his balloons 'sooo much!' haha what a fun day we had, celebrating our luc with friends- and nana and grandpa came too, which was AWESOME! 

we swam, ate pizza and cake, and then the dad's got to relive their childhoods and smash the piñata because it was way to strong for the little kids to break open. all of luc's friends took home a hot wheels car and a bag full of candy, and he got some super fun gifts. it was a huge success, and probably the easiest birthday party i've ever planned. 

happy 4th birthday lucalicious, we love you!!!

LIA TURNS 1!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIA!

our favorite girl turned one this weekend, and we had so much fun celebrating with our family and friends! words can't describe how happy this sweet baby makes us, she is perfect for our family and we adore her. she is our sunshine!

thanks to our family for driving over to celebrate with us!

donut holes! lia's favorite food, and practically the only thing she ate the entire afternoon...

yay for friends!

piñata spoils! lia was not at all interested in the candy, but luc was pretty excited about all the suckers haha!

she refused to touch her smash cake and acted like it was going to bite her. she wasn't a huge fan of everyone staring at her to sing happy birthday either haha! such a timid, sweet girl! she did think the presents were fun though :)

she had lots of 'help' opening her presents ;) it was a fun day! we have loved every day of the past year with our lia!
