20 DAYS

Invitations done: ready to mail this weekend
Decorations: planned
Food: planned
Excitement level: through the roof

Lady is having a birthday in 20 days. It's over the top, everyone is telling that I'm "sooo stupid" for wasting my time and money. But I'm not just throwing a birthday party for a 1 year old. We are CELEBRATING the past WONDERFUL year of LAYLA DAY. We're partying to show the world how grateful we are that she is a part of our lives and that adoption is a bigger than life miracle and it's over and a part of our past.
Love it love it love it. Can't wait for you all to celebrate with us.

Here's a little picture of Lady's 11 month pictures in her rocking chair. She wanted nothing of it and I LOVE that her feisty italian attitude is showing the best of her in this moment.
I'm sorry but sometimes her meltdowns are so fun to watch because she just absolutely falls apart.... just like her mother. I'm sure if I sifted through some old photo's of myself we'd see me making having this same exact fit.


She hated the other chair, but loves this one like crazy.

YAY for parties! I don't think you are crazy in the least for going all out and celebrating her 1st birthday. But then again, this is coming from someone who throws our dog a birthday party each year and invites his doggy friends...

HA!
