Today was Lila's first birthday. I cannot believe that she is already a year old. She is such a blessing to our lives and brings us such joy. To celebrate her big day, we met about 25 friends at the BIOLA cafeteria for lunch. It worked out very well as there was no set up, clean up, or cooking for me. Lila seemed to enjoy her day.
We asked that friends bring a prayer for Lila instead of a gift. I hope to assemble a book of these prayers for Lila. I am also in the process of making her an online photo book of her first year. My friend Christine made a video of the birthday party which is just amazing. If I can figure out how to post it, I will. 
For her birthday, we gave her a break from the helmet. Hopefully she will be done with it by next month. 
I went with a pink and white polka dotted theme. The goodie bags were strawberry and chocolate malt balls (which struggled a bit in the heat) and these wooden crafts for the kids to color.
These were the pink and white cupcakes that I made.

Looks like Lila really enjoyed her party (especially the cupcakes!) And of course the weather must have been just beautiful. I just love all the "themes" you do Lori - one of the things that make you such a wonderful teacher too! I thought Lila just had a haircut recently!? Look how long it's getting! And such a beautiful "blondie" too! She's just such a "cutie" and we couldn't love her more....give hugs and kisses to Sky, Brad and Lila from us! XOXOXOXOX
She is just sweetness from her pretty blonde head down to her little toes! What a wonderful gift from God. Guess it goes to show us that His plan is better than our own. :o) You think two children are good, when He knows that three are perfect! lol (I should talk, eh? better be careful what I type in case God is reading this blog. Im still on the two children page....hehe) Happy Birthday, dear Lila! Love the party decorations! Go, Lori! Hugs!
We really enjoyed seeing the party pics! Thank you, Lori!! What a great idea to have it at Biola!!Love the theme and the cupcakes you made! But most especially-- the idea of receiving prayers for Lila! Those prayers will surely bring blessings to her life far beyond gifts. Such a wonderful idea!! Lila looks so adorable!! In one pic she reminds us so much of Sky at that age, and another pic resembles Brad. She is so adorable and full of cuteness and sweetness!! Wow, one year already!!
Happy FIRST birthday Lila! You are too precious, love seeing your long blonde hair without your helmet on. You have a wonderful family little one!!!!! May God bless you this year.
Happy Birthday, sweet Lila! What a blessing you are...and sooo adorable!!
