Sweet 2nd Birthday!

Once again another birthday where Laila was blessed with lots of love! We had plans to spend Laila's actual birthday on the 27th with my Grandma wherever she was. Home, hospital, or hospice...we would make Laila's day special not matter what. With my Grandma passing a few days before Laila's birthday and us being in shock with how fast everything happened, we still wanted to enjoy the day and make it special. For weeks I was looking forward to my Grandma seeing Laila open her gift she got Laila. Since she didn't get to see her open it we made it special and still celebrated. It was a nice day and I know Gigi got to see the excitement on Laila's face. She loves her car! We are teaching her to pedal it, since it's kind of hard for her right now. This was a very special gift that will be in the family forever. Emelia will get to enjoy it too once Laila gets too big for it. Makes me smile!

We had a birthday bash for Laila on the 30th. It was a nice day at our house just enjoying friends and family. I did "Laila's Sweet Shop" considering how much she devours her candy. She can live on lolli's and m&m's and really anything sweet! She is her mother's daughter. I look forward to future birthdays where she is more able to understand and remember what her parties are about. I can't wait! Every year I will make it special for Laila (and Emmie too!)

{She got so shy when everyone started singing to her, but the cake was her favorite part. Forget the presents, she wanted to dig into her "happy birthday to you", which is what she calls her cake}

{Make a wish!}
