Ava's 1st Birthday Party!

We had a small birthday party for Ava at Amy's Playground in South Pasadena. I love this place because they literally take care of everything, and all I did show up with the cake. The price is pretty reasonable, but the only down-side is the number of kids included in the package is around 15. With most of our friends having 2 kids now, it can be pretty limiting on how many people you can invite or  it gets expensive fast for each additional kid. All the kids had a blast, and Ava seemed like she was totally enjoying herself. She wanted to play and crawl around most of the time, and she couldn't get enough of her cake which was made by the incredible Sweet and Saucy Shop! It was fun seeing our friends and family but of course it all happened so quickly!

Over the Holiday...

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend with nice full bellies. I definitely ate my fair share plus more! Good thing I have an excuse to eat for two! We spent Thanksgiving with both families, and Leah was in heaven. She loved playing with all her cousins, and I could hear her squeals and giggles from a mile away. I love spending time with our families, and am truly grateful that they all live close by.

Saturday, we had a little party for Leah's birthday at Amy's Playground. We invited Leah's closest little friends, and Amy's Playground was the perfect venue. They pretty much do everything for you, and all I had to worry about was providing drinks and paper supplies for the parents. It was completely stress free, and I was able to concentrate on the guests.
