happy birthday lilah - two years old today!

Since it's our first year celebrating Lilah's birthday, we decided to celebrate it just as a family. Colin took the day off work and we had a wonderful day together! Lilah had no idea what was going on, but she went along with it all. She loved opening her presents and playing with all the goodies. I must say, I think the cake was the best part of the day for our little two year old though; eating it wasn't her top priority, but blowing out the candles definitely was! I lost track of the number of times we lit them and she blew them out. She loved it! Thanks so much to all our family and friends for such love and kindness towards our Lilah. The presents are all beautiful and Lilah is very blessed to have each of you in her life, so are Colin and I.

I took a lot of pictures today, I guess that's nothing new! I wanted to capture every moment, from waking up this morning with the balloons in her room, to breakfast at Cora's, to opening her presents, and the grand finale, the cake. Gosh we had a great day! The photos are below, in different sets.

  2. How absolutely adorable! Every photo is just gorgeous. Love her pointing at her new stuffed animal and talking to it. So cute. Love her b-day hat. Lilah is so pretty. Does she have curly hair? Looked like it was wispy and curly in the back. How pretty. I can't get over how much she has changed and grown in such a short time. Happy birthday sweet Lilah. Looks like you had the best b-day ever!! Hugs, Sarah and Eliza

  3. Hi Sarah,

    Thanks for your lovely comment!
    Yes, I did curl her hair that morning! It was a wet day, so by the afternoon the curls were pretty much gone! :)

  5. Well Miss Lilah,
    I can't believe you have the same birth date as my youngest daughter, Carrie!!
    Of course she was 34 yesterday. But I can remember when she was two like it was yesterday!!

    Congratulations Sweetheart!
