WooHoo! Saylah Grace's 1st Birthday Party!!!

Saylah Grace and her wonderful mommy Samantha

 I can't believe it... sweet little Saylah will be 1 year old on November 21st! Her party was last night and it was just so much fun! So cute to watch her playing with her little cousins, devouring her first bday cake, dancing around whenever music was played {even if it was just someone's cell phone ringing}, saying some words in her cute Saylah voice and it was just nice being together with her family and friends. Her party was a monkey theme and her mom Sam did such an amazing job with all the decorations! Saylah's Grandma and Grandpa had a yummy dinner {taco bar} for all of us to enjoy. Such a great time was had by all!

 Saylah with her 2 grandma's :) A very cool fact about Saylah's

birthday is she was born on her Grandma Deb's birthday!

Wouldn't that just be the best birthday gift ever??? :)

Saylah with her Auntie LaLa

"The Girls"

Nat, Allison, Lauren & Samantha...these girls have been friends since

they were little girls...they were our neighbors on base. We shared a fence

so our girls used to hop the fence quite a bit to go back and forth! We've

been through lots of life {good & bad} and just love this family to pieces!

Saylah was absolutely adorable opening her gifts...she really

got into it all and just looked and touched everything. 

Such a darn cutie patootie!

Sporting some of her birthday presents!

Doesn't this penguin hat just crack you up? 

Oh My!!! Her first pair of converse! Not sure if

I've ever seen anything cuter!!!

Her very own chair! Saylah's Auntie Allison painted and

decorated this just for her! I thought that was the best!

Just love this one!!!

Saylah clapping {so cute} when we were done singing the bday song to her!

Saylah is sure lovin' her some cake time!

 yum!!!

 Saylah was more than willing to share!

Sharing with her Aunt Natnat...

Saylah certainly demolished that cake!

Here she is with Auntie Allison whom she loves & adores!

Don't you want a bite of this yummy cake now too?

served from the cutest pudgy baby hands...

Party time...Nat, Chloe, Tiffany and Birthday Baby Saylah

 These 2 just absolutely LOVE each other!

Wouldn't you just love to know what these baby cousins were talkin' about???

Saylah with Papa Jim

One time during this last summer when we were watching Saylah, it

was time to get her ready to be picked up by her Grandpa Dave. Jim told

Saylah her "real" grandpa was coming to get her...I asked Jim what that made

him...he said "I'm the Faux Pa". Pretty funny! Even though we are not really

Saylah's grandparents we just love her like crazy and are so honored that

her mommy and {real} grandparents allow us to play such an active role in her life!

Pre bathtime...after caketime...

More of the great decorations...

My favorite tho is this picture...

Saylah is such a blessing to all those around her and I'm so happy

to wish my little sugar pie a very blessed 1st birthday!
