HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAILA!

Our lovely Laila-Bug is 6 years old...it's hard to imagine this, as I remember driving frantically down from Boise to try and be there for her entrance into the world. We missed it by about an hour, and I was heartbroken! She was truly a most beautiful baby, with long dark hair, gorgeous eyes and the most perfectly sweet smelling head. For anyone that knows me - I love the smell of babies...except when they have poopy diapers!

We celebrated with a party the Sunday before, at Aunt Faye's, with all the family. But when I asked her what her birthday 'day' had been, she excitedly told me it was 'AWESOME'. I asked her what made it so great, and she told me she got to hand out treats to her classmates, and that they all had made individual cards for her. "It was the Greatest Birthday Ever!"

We so enjoy her effervescence, her total enthrallment with fairies and princesses, and her enthusiasm at learning new skills in school. She loves her Mom & Dad and Seth, being with her cousins, and copying anything that Taylor likes or does.

Happy Birthday Laila - We love you so much and are happy that you find so much enjoyment in your life.

I am certainly glad that you have birthdays in your family otherwise we would never hear from you. Love the picture of all the boys in blue plaid and the girls in plum-colored jumpers. Kloyie is missing.
Happy Birthday Skyla.

Oh man!!! Happy Birthday Laila, not Skyla. Maybe Skyla is the one who is missing. I'm sooo confused.

I think you do marvelously well for your age...J/K. Yes, it was Laila's b-day and Skyla is the one missing. I bought all the kids the outfits for Christmas hoping to get a group pix of them. As a tribute to G'ma Great (her b-day was the 29th) we all compiled memories of her that I gave to everyone, and each of the little girls got a heart pendant and the boys got pictures of them with G'ma to help them keep memories of G'ma in their heart forever.

P.S. Actually, I was thinking no one read them anymore. Was about to give up the Ghost!

Another Happy Birthday wish to Laila! (Hope she saw her Facebook wishes). I love this picture! And I love the fact that you were able to get them together for it and have fun time together thinking of their great G'ma. Great idea,....I'm always looking for a new post from you. Enjoy all of them!
