It seems like we have been celebrating her birthday for a month....because we pretty much have. We spent her actual birthday (July 3rd) at the lake in Alabama with my family. She had a big time. Because I am a weakling when it comes to gifts she got to open gifts all week and still had a ton of gifts to open on her birthday. Her two favorite gifts were her Elsa and DocMcstuffins costumes.
Auntie Teri made her birthday extra special with a Frozen cake made by our dear friend Kala. It was beautiful and tasted amazing. Daizy loved her cake!!
And because my little African loves her some Mexican food we took her out for dinner to have some "guacamelon" and this happened...they sang to her while she was wearing a big sombrero and then they smeared whip cream on her face. She wasn't really sure how she felt about this at first.
On Saturday my sister hosted a "Come Meet Daizy Party" which was not intended to be an extended birthday party but that is what it turned into. That kiddo got so much stuff. In fact we had to leave some things behind for Pops to bring on his next trip because we just couldn't get everything in the car. Her favorite gift from the party that has provided us all with entertainment was her karaoke machine. Oh my heavens...I wasn't sure if the Eckers hated me or were just investing in Daizy's future as a performer but we have had a blast with her karaoke machine.
When we finally made it back to Louisiana I had to buy a new shelf to organize all her new toys but she is loving them all and has given her momma a break by playing so well in her room by herself.
This past Sunday we had her birthday party with her friends here in Louisiana. It was nothing fancy. We had cake and ice cream and swam and she loved it. The greatest gift I could give my little social butterfly was time with her friends.
Happy Birthday Daizy Mae....we love you and are so glad you're here!!!
