Alina's 7th Birthday

The night before her birthday, Alina happily helped me prepare the treat bags for her guests. A couple of her friends were going to sleep over and she had even gotten a manicure that day. She was really looking forward to her little party.

Due to extenuating circumstances (Gabriel's mother passing away), her party had to be canceled. I had already bought most of the stuff for it and had ordered a cake. 

There was no party, but we still had cake and ice cream. And jello, of course. Also, Alina's friend, Johnny, came over later that day and brought her a present. So kind.

Anyhoo, here are some photos from her birthday.

Happy to help make the little treat bags:

Laura had no clue what was going on. She just devoured her cake. And ice cream. And jello. And look! She got some in her hair!

Poke, poke. The evening before Alina's birthday. :D
