Layla's Birthday!

Our Layla Grace turned the big seven this week!  We had a blast celebrating!

We started her day with doughnuts and chocolate milk, as we do all birthdays!

Eyes closed, whoops.  
Ruby approves of birthday doughnuts!
Then, Layla got to open her present from us.  She was beyond thrilled with an Eye Doctor Barbie set!






For her birthday lunch, Layla chose steak (what a good daddy to grill in the freezing cold!), sweet potatoes, corn, and canned peaches.  Yummy!!

That afternoon, Layla invited a few friends over to play.  The girls were VERY excited and VERY loud and VERY energetic!  :)  They played vet, UNO, we set up a photo booth, played musical chairs, and had cake and candy.  It was so fun!





Grandpa Rod and Grandma Bonnie came over with gifts, which again, Layla was over the moon about!  Layla chose to have cheetos and little smokies for supper, and then Melanie came over for a sleepover.  She brought glow sticks galore, and they stayed up until 10:30 partying.





I would say Layla had the best day!  It was fun celebrating her and we feel so thankful God would give us sweet, observant, hilarious, so very tender and compassionate, Layla Grace.  Her life blesses many, and we praise God for her!


Happy Birthday, Layla!

  1. Wow! The cake looks amazing, it is so nicely painted. It is always fun celebrating your birthday with your best ones. I remember I wasn’t able to find one of the rental spaces for parties for my son’s birthday for some reason and when I asked him if it was okay, he said that he had the best birthday ever because we were there and so were his best friends.
