the "afterparty"

Well, it's the morning after the party,

and I thought of some more things to tell you!

-

I really love my new big-girl backpack!

My Mommy and Daddy gave it to me packed full of baby-crayons,

coloring paper, and four new books to read!

-

I do prefer to wear it on the front however.

Perhaps I should call it a "frontbag" or something like that!

-

I LOVE these new books from Uncle Michael, Aunt Rachel & Alise!
It was so exciting to finally open them since I have been eyeing them for a few weeks now!
I especially love the pictures of animals in the Brown Bear book!
-
Oh, and here are a few more photos from the party...
-

My friends served as the elves at my party

and brought me the gifts to unwrap!
-
This was in that big box! I was really excited about his baby and stroller set!

Thanks Aunty Joy, Uncle Joel, Caleb & Anya for the birthday money that made this gift possible!
-
Mommy knew I would love it because I found one
at a friend's house and played with it for hours (literally)!
I've become quite a little mother these days!
I like to hug my babies and pat them on the back.
-

These pop-up books from Mommy and Daddy were also lots of fun!
I just need a little help so I don't rip off the flaps ...
I get a little overly enthusiastic sometimes!
-
And these are some more of my "aunts" here who came to my party!
Before Mommy lived with Daddy, she lived with them.

-
And here I am with more friends...
Oh, and don't forget the new playmate on the way!
-
Well, that's all for now...
I'm still recovering from all the excitemet!
Love, Ada Marie
