Throw Back Thursday

Here is a picture of Lillie and I in Las Vegas . . . this seems like forever ago and by the looks of Lillie I think it was awhile ago. . . LOL!! I miss her being little and wanting to take pics with me . . . She has such a baby face. . . it's SO ADORABLE!!

Lillie's 12th Birthday Party

Yesterday we celebrated Lillie's birthday with family and it couldn't have turned out more perfect . . . Birthday's have always been celebrated big in our family. We like to go all out and I have my parents to thank for that :) :). . . I love love love to have all my sisters over and my parents and now John's family too!!  It makes for a lot of people and a lot of loudness but honestly I love that!!

We ordered pizza and had some appetizers and of course my step moms famous artichoke dip so that all the focus could be on the desserts and I think we succeeded on that. . . 

The dessert table was full of goodies!! We had the cake, cupcakes, pink puppy chow, chocolate chip cheese cake, and banana bars!!

I'm not gonna lie this birthday cake was my favorite part of the birthday party!! I had the same lady make her cake that made our wedding cake . . . and Emma couldn't had made this pink ombre/ gold cake any more perfect :) 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a lot pictures . . . mostly because "I guess at 12 your to cool for pictures"  but I was able to grab a few of our dessert table and the cake :) 

Thankfully Lillie grabbed Kristen's phone to take this little candid shot of herself . . . So I do have a close up of her rocking her gold headband with the pink ombre flower!!!!

All in all, the party turned out to be so much fun & very festive! I loved planning it & am already looking forward to next year! Thank you all again for all of the sweet birthday wishes to Lillie!

Happy Birthday Lillie Michelle

It is so hard to believe that 12 years ago today Lillie made her entrance into this world! She's had my heart since I heard that sweet little cry that "Fat" Tuesday afternoon. . .

Today I did a little stroll down memory lane and even though it made me tear up, I also smile because I know that there is a lot of fun to come watching my sweet girl grow into an amazing young lady. . .

I love this little girl so much . . .

the picture to the right was taken 10 years ago . . . how is it possible that 10 years has gone by?!?!

Since Lil's birthday is today and her actual party isn't until Saturday , I wanted her to still have a birthday "cake" but since I'm having one made for Saturday's party we decided to switch it up a little bit  . . so we went for DONUTS!

Happy Birthday Lillie. . .I love you so so much.. muah
