Family & Love...

My great niece Adelina celebrated her 5th birthday on Friday...
 and it rained like it always does on her birthday.
The pirate water party was cancelled...
and an hour later we were all at Dean'na and Anthony's house to celebrate anyway.
If you are going to have a party, my niece's house is the place to be.
Warm, welcoming and fun, 
they can host a party in an hour's notice.
There was a ton of food, I'm not sure where it all came from...
but trust me, no one left hungry!!


These are cupcakes, in the shape of a 5,
iced together so it looks like a cake.

This is the best picture I took of Addie,
she got make-up for her birthday - enough said!

And this is little "red" - my sweet Lorelei, her personality matches her face perfectly!

Chuck's dad was visiting from Florida this past weekend.
In addition to this party, we had a baby shower for my nephew's wife on Saturday.
At a waterfront restaurant in Bay Head, 
it was elegant, like a wedding.

Those two little girls are so adorable! I know you love them to pieces, and I love seeing their photos.

The birthday girl and those expressive dark eyes--so beautiful. As for Little Red? I am loving the Angel Kisses (freckles) on her face. My Pammie had/has freckles. They just make a little kid so much cuter and a bit more devilish looking. LOL

What an amazing cake/cakes. Addie's house sounds like the best fun. Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.

What a great family weekend! I always wished I could be the kind of person your nephew and niece (?) are -- able to throw a party at a moment's notice.

LeAnn said...

Wow, that is such a fun weekend. I love the photos of those two precious grand nieces of yours. They a just so adorable. I have a red haired granddaughter and she is a personality plus. I can see that in this cute little one. The birthday girl is beautiful. The cake was very creative. It sounds like such a fun party.
It sounds like the baby shower was lovely too. This was a fun one! Blessings and hugs!
