My BIL was born and raised in New Brunswick and his parents are still there. But, don’t think for one minute that means that they aren’t a part SweetPea’s life!!!! They Face Time, they Skype, they send presents and they’re actively involved… SweetPea gets very excited when she hears my Memere’s voice over the iPad 🙂
Miss SweetPea goes at her own pace. On her first birthday she had her first Crawl 🙂 Now there will be NO stopping her!! LOL

| Among other things we bound all the wishes friends and family made for SweetPea at her baby shower a year ago 🙂 |
My Sis is a bit of a freak about sugar in the house… By a bit of a freak I mean a huge mother trucking freak lol my Sis has always been concerned about her weight. I don’t know why, I feel she’s very womanly and curvy and athletic but she has always been very concerned about weight. She once told me a story about the kids measuring themselves and weighing themselves in grade 2 for math class and how embarrassed she was to weigh herself in front of everybody… in grade 2!!! That’s crazy and makes my heart hurt 🙁
So did SBean hahaha

| We went into the Disney store, HBear was blown away by the magic talking mirror! |
Of course being in the prairies I should have use my secret prairie senses and I should have closed the van door. I didn’t and the entire van was filled with mosquitoes. HBear was still suffering from the ant ordeal and had a conniption when we got into the van and there was mosquitoes flying all around her lol I had to kill every single one of those mosquitoes before we could move… But those mosquitoes have nothing on this Winnipeg girl LOL
This time I brought the girls socks so they could play in the play area!
For being so well behaved 🙂 I took everybody to the Marble Slab Creamery for a treat Mmmmmmm my favorite cherry cheesecake Yum!
We then took a drive into Cochrane and went to the place where we shot their wedding pictures, it is just the most gorgeous spot!
That night after we got the kids in bed my sister and I decorated and did our nails,
and my BIL baked a seven layer rainbow cake and cute rainbow cupcakes!!!
The morning of the party came and my girls were in full meltdown mode! I called Ninja in tears. What should I do with them “My Sis has 25 people coming over to celebrate SweetPea’s birthday and our kids are going to ruin it!!!!” I cried
We made a rainbow deviled eggs,
My citrus rainbow corn salad,
A rockin’ display of fruit skewers,
I delicious bejeweled cold noodle salad,
DinoSours and rainbow trail mix,
and delicious salad rolls with Thai chili sauce for dipping… not to mention the beautiful cupcakes that my BIL baked 🙂
It was such a good time my sister’s friends are it the most amazing group of people I’ve ever met. They are so lucky to have such a great close group of friends 🙂 I’m not just saying that because they all read my blog LOL

| My Uncle bribing SBean with cupcakes! He is the smart 1 in the family LOL |
 |
| SBean loved spending time with my Aunt and newly engaged cousin! |
This is the most amazing idea! Every month my BIL took a picture of SweetPea wearing a 12 month outfit. Then they put all the pictures up and SweetPea wore the outfit to the birthday party… it was absolutely adorable!
SweetPea freaking hammered back that cake on the second chance! LOL this time there was no hesitation she dove right in and licked that plate clean!
Her goodie bags were adorable including a little mask a straw and these super amazing hand puppet tattoos seriously I don’t know where she finds the stuff?!? Lol
