Photo Shoot

Lauren took some pictures of Leah while she was visiting during Thanksgiving week. We had a few props and I think the pictures turned out great!

Thanksgiving/Leah's 1st Birthday!!!

The day before Thanksgiving/Leah's 1st birthday, we decided to go to the zoo. Leah loves animals and has really started showing an interest in the zoo animals. Funny story....we were in the petting zoo and there is a sign that says "keep all items out of reach of the goats" well my dad had a map of the zoo in his back pocket and before we knew it one of the goats had taken it out of his pocket and was eating it. I literally had to play tug of war with the goat and the map. I finally got the map away but half of it was missing! haha

We had lunch at Dillon's BBQ which is attached to the zoo. They seated us next to the tank which was fun.

Mom, Dad and Hailey flew in for Thanksgiving

I bought Leah some dollar store balloons because she LOVES them. Two of them are still floating and it's been 2 months!

Thanksgiving Dinner. Lauren, Jared, and Crystal joined us midweek and Uncle Mark and Aunt Kathy drove over for dinner and bday celebrations!

I've had this bib forever and finally got to use it!

Leah's birthday 'smash' cake. My great friend, Laurie, owns her own business and offered to make Leah's cake. She asked me what I think of when I think of Leah and I told her cats haha so Leah got a cat cake! It was SO cute and really yummy too. Leah didn't really smash it but picked at it for awhile!

Leah loved opening her presents!

Matt is assembling all of her presents!

Aunt Tracey and Phil were driving through Phoenix on their way home and stopped by! Was fun to catch up.

On Saturday we went to Glendale Glitters and saw some friends from PA!

Dad bought this santa hat and was wearing it all night....interesting....

We had a great Thanksgiving and a special 1st birthday for Leah. She is the sweetest baby in the world :)
