January 9, 2023
We celebrated Aubrey for three days straight, and it was so fun. Her actual b-day fell on Monday, so her main celebrations were on Saturday with friends and Sunday with extended family.
Saturday morning she woke up to this fun sign in the front yard. She had a huge grin. I was impressed with the card lady. I told her two colors and mentioned v-ball and she did the rest! I love the shopping bags, car keys, phone, nail polish and emoji. It turned out really cute. It was really fun to have it up for her friend party and our Sunday night gathering.
The fam: Aub, Bri (aka Dad), Me (aka Mom, aka Erin), Tanner, Erin Flores & Kaide (6 months)
La & Aub La gets the award for making sure Aubrey's b-day was extra special and amazing. She was adorable. She had a party for her at her house and secretly invited more friends. She had cute decorations, yummy food and made a beautiful cake. She also took pictures of Aub and her tight school group of friends before the party. So cute!
Aliaya, Maiya, Aub, Macy & Nissi (Parker was out of town.)
We gave Aub a v-ball, a gift card to American Eagle, a hair curling thing, lots of treats and I can't remember what else.
Tanner hooked her up with some of her favorite treats.
She got lots of fun gifts from friends, but I didn't get pictures of most of them. I thought this blanket Maiya got her was the cutest: pictures of them together this past year. (Some other gifts from friends that I remember: a rolling nightstand, a soft blanket, candles, jewelry organizer, a novel, a water bottle, & makeup.)
One legged girl...not sure how this picture worked out in just this way. She is posing with the nightstand from La.
Sunday night celebrations. Hudson, Aub, Tanner, Kaide, Erin, Char and Ella
Our favorite family candy bar cake. It's delicious. (yellow cakemix w/ chocolate pudding, whipped topping mixed with eggs, powdered sugar and butter and then topped with crushed Butterfinger.)
My great nephew Noah Vore. He loved playing with the balloons.
The beautiful cake La made for Aubrey.
