Saturday we partied to celebrate Lilah's first birthday! We had the party in our church gym like we did for Addison's first birthday.
The theme was simple, purple and aqua colors. Purple is Lilah's signature color. From the moment I found out I was having a girl I always associated her with purple. We decorated with pennant name banners and a banner made of all of Lilah's monthly pictures. It was a morning party so we had brunch food of mini quiche, sausage balls, fruit and pinwheels. The cake was a cinnamon roll cake. It was a bit labor intensive, but totally worth it, super yummy!
One day I was picking up some tights for Addison in a dance supply store. There happened to be the perfect purple and aqua tutu frilly outfit. I knew it would be the perfect over the top birthday outfit. I put it on and it was a little big but oh well. You are only one once.
The church gym is the perfect spot for lots of people with plenty of room for kids to run around. Every time we get together with family and friends there are more and more little ones running around. The fun just keeps multiplying.
Trying to get a family photo is almost humorous. We are still at the stage where both girls never look or smile at the same time. Oh well at least we got a few.
We had lots of help opening presents. Addison, Madison, and Mackenna were happy to help open the presents.
I gave up trying to keep track. Thanks mom for figuring it all out for me.
Time for cake!!! The cute little pearls look cute, but we were afraid they would be a chocking hazard so we wiped them off the cake. You seemed to like the icing.
Happy birthday little lady! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate. We love everyone and are so appreciative of their support and involvement in our little girl's life.
