So my BFF #1 (apart from all of you other BFF #1's too!) has an adorable one year old named Siena. Siena doesn't understand it for one minute I'm sure, but she LOVES Sesame Street. She'll sit and watch it for hours! (Well, Natalie is an amazing mother, so of course she doesn't LET her, right??) So, Natalie prepared an incredible First Birthday party for her, in a Sesame Street theme.
I told Natalie that although I have no clue how to use Jordan's camera, that I'd do the pictures....good thing I know a few things about Photoshop, since I could only use the darn thing on "auto." I'll learn how to use his camera soon enough though...
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Siena Street?? :)
Natalie MADE this cake. Can you believe her talents????
It was my idea to do pipe cleaners rather than fondant for the curls. Let's simplify life, right??
Natalie really wishes the Sixlets would have stayed stuck to the cake...but it's GORGEOUS anyway, Nat!
Siena in all her cuteness!! Should I have Photoshopped out the ketchup on her chin? Maybe....maybe not. It's authentic, right?
Candy galore!!
I painted that. Very proud :)
There was a bouncy house (being the party of the year, and all!) Notice how Claire has her "purse-o-panties" with her, her "Baby Jaguar" (You know, from "Go, Diego, Go!"), a plethora of necklaces, and another purse (behind the panties one) with Cinderella princess shoes. She is also wearing some princess shoes. Natalie and I decided that she is the epitome of a child-version of "The Bag Lady." Sad! LOL LOL
Just love this shot. This is Natalie's niece, Brooke.
Love my cutie!!
Cutie :) (I mean you, Nat!)
Kids got a goldfish and crayon for their "goodie bag." Natalie is so creative :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE little Eli with his super cute mom, Jenny
Natalie's sister, Alex, and her cute little girl, Bella
Such a cute picture! (Next time I'll have to watch out for that harsh light!)
Leslie and her little monkey
Drake: What a cutie! (And Amberly too :)
Jonny and his bundle of Sloane, I mean, Joy!
Rachy looks so cute in this picture!!
Sloane wouldn't cooperate but she's so gorgeous even when she is not wanting to be smiley in front of the camera! Focus on her eyes would have been awesome, but I'm not that good :) Oh well!!
ELMO visited. Can you believe Natalie's mom wore that costume in JULY???? She's crazy!! And awesome!
Autie Katie painted faces. She's so good!
Just such a cute pic of Daxton.
Check out the tat on Claire! Cookie Monster rocks.
And check out the cute face painting (and all of Claire's necklaces and panties...sigh...)
More cute pics of Sloaney-Pants
Connor and Abbey. Connor was in HEAVEN. Abbey--can you tell she took out her clippie?? Naughty naughty! Must have learned that from Anya, jk :)
Cooper and Sydney. What a cute expression, Cooper!
Can you believe Natalie painted a frame with an S just for this occasion? That's dedication!
And of course, at the party of the year, there HAD to be a pinata! This one, you take turns (in a single file line, as shown above...OK well supposedly shown above :) pulling on strings until one of the strings actually breaks it open. Yeah, Claire got to her turn and grabbed a clump of 5 or 10 strings. It was classic Claire. (It's like in Sacrament Meeting with the bread. We keep having to tell her "just one!")
Like bees to honey...
Unsure at first...
...but she got into it soon enough. They always do.
Happy Birthday Nenners!!! Can you believe we were going to take a picture of her cute onesie Natalie made with Elmo on it...AFTER this? What were we thinking....
