Nora's First Birthday Party!

Last Sunday we officially celebrated Nora's first birthday with a party at Anthem Community Park. The park has a train, couple of playgrounds and a splash pad. We had a bit of a cold front starting last Sunday and early this week so the splash pad was a no-go. It was a little chillier than we expected it to be but the kids still had a blast. My sister brought bagels, donuts and coffee and Nora chewed on a donut for like 30 minutes. The kids had so much fun at the big playground. We sang Nora happy birthday and she did a decent job digging in to her cake, especially considering that girl is so dang tiny. Her favorite toy was a sippy cup my sister got her. After cake and presents we headed over to the train. The train ride was good and we even got to see an owl that had a nest in a cactus. We hit up the swings before leaving and practically had to drag the kids away because they were having so much fun. It was a great morning. I can't believe little Nora is already one! Now she just needs to start walking!

The girls are tooo cute!

Nora's Baptism

Been a little MIA this week due to a nasty stomach bug but I wanted to pop in and share some pictures from my niece Nora's baptism last Sunday. Both my sister and I were sick that day so it was interesting for sure. Nora was a little angel though. I feel bad because we were not able to host everyone after for lunch but it was just too much. We barely even managed to get a group picture but thankfully we did get that. Nora is wearing the same gown we were baptized in that was my great Uncle's as well as Cameron, Everly, Teddy, and Aspen. This was our first baptism at St. Thomas More and it went well. Much faster than the last one at St. Paul's. I wish I had felt better that day but Justin and I are so happy to be Nora's godparents! Also, thanks to my mom and sister helping with the kids during mass. Could not have done it without you!

Baby Nora's Sip 'n See

Last Weekend I hosted a Sip 'n See at my house along with lots of help from my mom and sisters. We did a similar event for my other sister last year (here). We just had bagels and donuts, coffee and mimosas and it went really well. It was very laid back and baby Nora was a little angel despite being passed around for a few hours. We also took advantage of having all of the kids together and got a group picture. It actually turned out pretty good besides Teddy's stink face. I am glad so many people were able to come and see little Nora and I hope my sister enjoyed it. If not, at least there was Bosa donuts!
