A Strawberry "Fiesta!"

The weekend was a success! Gabi 'fruit'fully turned six, I cooked, baked, decorated, and cleaned my little heart out and my new to-do list begins. Somehow, Gabi still thinks she's the one that needs to "relax" with her new Orbeez foot soaker... I'm tempted to fight her for it. She was nice enough to give me a foot massage, though. (Mom Perks).

We took lots of pictures today to capture everything I could. Some good videos too!

...

Just a quick side note since I was reminded of it today: If you ever want a "First Birthday" gift idea or to replace a baby book (which are harder to keep up with) buy this Birthday Book: A Keepsake Journal. I've had one for Gabi and get to write everything about her birthdays each year. It even has questions for your child to answer and pockets to put anything you want to put in them. Super cute idea.

...

Saturday we spent a couple of hours with 10 of Gabi's friends at Skyzone.

Look at that height!

Trampolines EVERYWHERE! Which was GREAT!

However....

I feel this is a little...harsh. ;)

We ate pizza and cake -The Inspiration Cake- no Redbull though. Phew!

 Saturday flew by. Come Sunday, our house was in full party mode. It turned out great!

My table display.

Gabi's favorites.

My favorite compliment.

From Gabi...

"Oh Mom! You're making everything look so fancy for my party. Everything is just TOO cute!"

Gabi. You're too cute.

Tissue paper flower bouquet.

Well. Uncle Jason got his birthday in today, too...by the way.

He's a pretty awesome guy.

Stole this idea from the Party Planning QUEEN, Jenna.

No worries, I didn't spike the Jell-O

One of my faves. Big tissue paper flowers...which were suppose to be balls...

...the directions lied.

Mama and the Birthday Girl!

Strawberry Pie Cake

(Which I won a pie contest with, FIRST PLACE!...)

...no joke.

I felt like a picnic table or something...

BUT cute dress for 5 bucks!

At the end of the day...

(Oh yea. Mom, Papa and Ninny got her a Dsi..."The best present ever.")

She's six. SIX! Wow. By the time I'll get use to that, she'll be seven...I shudder at the thought.

I have to give a big THANK YOU to my mom and dad for ALL of their help.

Without them, oh boy...I don't even want to think about it.

OH and I bet you're wondering what happened to the Spectacular Strawberry Pinata...

My video skills still aren't up to par. So...it's split in two.
