And last but not least...Josephine who traveled all the way from Ohio to make it to her cousins very special day!!!!! The day would not have been complete with out Josie - Thank you Josie!!!!

Some of the proud fathers watching their kids play...

Some of the adult crowd :) Now that introductions have been made you can enjoy watching all the kids in actions :) Well you may just see some adults at play too :)

As you can see Lyla had the perfect day playing with all of her friends. Mission complete!!!! Below is our attempt of getting all the kids together for a Kodak moment...we are missing a few:( but here's the outcome. I have over 10 shots of this picture. I decided on this one because it summarizes the situation perfectly...not one person looking at the right camera :)

And before I conclude this post I have to comment on my FAMILY. Thank you Schneider Family for making the trip to Chicago to help Lyla celebrate. What a pair Lyla and Josie make. The most cherished moments from the weekend were those impromptu moments...all the sweet moments that Josie and Lyla had together...like sharing binkies and reading books together...to name only a few!!!!

Those silly Schneiders...

And thank you Grandma and Grand-daddy (DD) for making the trip as well. I think it's safe to say "all is good" in this picture...the ever so happy grandparents with their girls!!!! And by the looks of Lyla I think she agrees! Sidenote: This is Lyla's ever-so-cute/slightly odd new look - haha!! The noise that accompanies this look makes it all the better!!!!

Dancin' away with the birthday girl before all the guest arrive....

And finally Lyla's day ended with opening all her gifts - everyone spoiled her rotten...

Here is Lyla kissing her first baby doll...

And sweet Josie helping Lyla open gifts...

And that concludes Lyla's Birthday Week Extravaganza!!!

Whew.....
