Birthday party with Haley

Thanks to the Hart family hosted our girls' birthday party again this year...and here's some of the fun...and in case you don't remember from last year they are the friends who we met from CrossRoads church on the worship team.  Jayson sings and plays bass and his wife, Amanda, also sings.  Haley is only one day younger than Gabrielle!  

The Little Einstein's "Rocket" cake that I made with his friends June, Quincy, Leo, and Annie.

Rice crispy treats with my added decorations.

Almond bark-covered pretzels that were supposed to be "Leo's conducting batons".  Gabrielle even helped me with the sprinkles.  They were all gone before we went home...I think the adults liked them even more than the kids!

Backside view of the food table.

Waters with cute labels that Amanda made.

Gabrielle checking out all the food (while the other kids are playing around).  Good thing it's just a veggie tray, I guess!

Hmm...how about this tomato?

I like tomatoes...pretty tasty!

Cheeeeeese!

Jayson helping Haley open her gifts.

Some of the people/kids at our party.

A really unique puzzle that we got from the Levant family...it is soft and it is all one piece.  Nick had a great time figuring it out the other day, and Gabrielle had a great time taking it apart!  :)

A Little Einstein laptop...probably one of her favorite toys now.

Everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to the girls...and Maddie getting in on the action too.  She is only 6 months older than Gabrielle, and her parents are part of our church's worship team too.  Josh plays bass and Allison sings.  Amazing, it's it that we found two families who we share so much in common with, huh?  :)

Haley and Gabrielle blowing out their candles...
Check out one of my next blog posts to see the videos.

Gabrielle after the red velvet cake and red frosting...nice!

Sitting on my lap and finishing off some fresh fruit.  She ate strawberries, grapes, blueberries, and blackberries...must be my daughter!  

Haley working on her plate of food.

Maddie again with her mom, Allison.

Isabella getting in on the musical activities too.

Gabrielle found Haley's guitar to play with.  I think she might be trying to do some kind of Michael Jackson impression here...who knows.

Gabrielle showing off her "monkey" skills by climbing up the rock wall on Haley's new playground in their backyard.  Impressive for a 2-year old!
