"Bakery" Birthday

On Saturday, Gabi had seven little friends here to celebrate her 5th birthday.  We decided on a "bakery" party together, and have been planning for a few months now.  It was a wonderfully special morning for Gabi, and quite the sweet, peaceful party with all the little girls (I have a feeling it wouldn't have been quite so calm had it been Emilio's party).  Get ready for a whole lot of pictures. 

My mom made these darling aprons for each girl!
