Rosalia Turns 1 :)

My baby cousin Rosalia had her 1st birthday party and she couldn't have been more excited. The party theme was a tea party. There was tea cups everywhere, including a tea cup pinada, which all my little cousins were ecstatic about. Everything was pink because obviously that is Lia's favorite color. She started the party off in her beautiful party dress and then changed into her hot pink rockstar outfit. She loved being around all of her family and being the center of attention. She is always happy and loves posing for pictures. Her favorite part of the party was opening her gifts. She was clapping and laughing. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. I bought her baby Jordans (she is wearing them in the picture). They were so small and adorable. I had to get them! They were a bit hit! The rest of her gifts were things such as Uggs, a Burberry Jacket with matching rain boots, a Juicy sweatsuit, earrings, etc. I think she really got the best gifts a 1 year old could ask for.

Lia is the sweetest baby in the world. I love playing games with her and making her laugh. She is growing up so fast though. I want her to stay this way forever! I look forward to all the holidays coming up so that I can spend more time with her. I can't wait to see her holiday outfits and all the wonderful gifts she is going to get.

To think, I was once this small is mind boggling. My oh my does life go fast!
