Cake Smash

Birthday Party Extravaganza!

We had a super fun weekend and an awesome first birthday party!!! Grandma and Granpa Pientka and Carney came up for lunch on Saturday, stayed the night and helped us party the whole weekend through. Auntie Em was hanging out Saturday and Sunday, too and Aunt Rachel and Uncle Andy even joined us for some delicious birthday cake and a photo shoot on Sunday.

Johanna had a blast - she definitely LOVES cake and she has been playing non-stop with her new toys.

Thanks so EVERYONE who made the weekend so special. Our family is so blessed with such a wonderful family who helped me out so much with great food, good laughs and excellend birthday girl snuggles and lovin'!

We missed having Tony and Fr. Larry at the party but we hope to see them VERY soon! We also were so happy our families could get the house tour and see the house before we do some major work on it. It was nice to have so much more room and we even were able to fit everyone around the dining room table!

Happy Halloween! Buzz Buzz.

Johanna had a fabulous Halloween. It is *technically* her second halloween, but her first year dressing up. I made her a little bumblebee costume. She looked so cute and got to go trick or treating at a few hours with her Mom, Dad, two Grandmas and Aunt Emily. The Grandpas stayed home, drank a few beers and manned the doors. We didnt' get ANY trick or treaters because our porch light was out. I bought tons of candy because I had heard that Brookside gets a lot of trick or treaters but we only saw a handful of kids walking around. So sad because I LOVE trick or treaters.

Anyway, here is that little Bumblebee Cutie!
