i'm havin' a party...

BALLS are aiyana's current favorite toy and most popular sign as well, so, we had to have plenty at her party.

a girl must accessorize... mommy helped aiyana put on her new bracelet

auntie shelly helped with the new shoes

Kindermusik and instruments are her favorites, too, so we had plenty of those.
we shared some of aiyana's most-loved songs with her friends, including: "Love Somebody", "Skinnamarink", and "Zoom-E-Oh".
aiyana knew just what to do with her egg shakers!

i told you; i do NOT want this hat!
aiyana wanted nothing to do with her party hat.
she even flinched when we came toward her with it.

mmmmm. chocolate. a girl's right.

what a pretty cake.

sugar rush.
aiyana experiences her first chocolate high. she got a little goofy during the gift opening. we're pretty sure it was the cake talking.
