Happy Birthday! Lilia is One!

Lilia's Cake.  This is the second one I have made.  It tasted really good.

Mommy and Daddy with the Birthday Princess!

 

Hmm, this might taste good.  She did not want to get dirty.  

 This tastes interesting. 

 

Mommy will help me open my presents.

 

Look what Grandma and Grandpa H. got me.  I love my apron.  We need to do some baking and crafts.

 

Grandpa R. will help me with this next one.  

 

I love books.  Look at all the colors.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa R.

 

Mommy and Daddy got me some drums. I will be making lots of noise.  

 

Grandma made a bow for me out of all the ribbons! This was her favorite thing to carry around.

 

Louise and Bill came for my party.  I share her name.  She also made the dress I am wearing.  

 

I am distracted by everything.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa R.

3 March 2010
We are celebrating a few days late. Happy Birthday! We love you Lilia! We had a great time celebrating your birthday. 
Here are a few things you love doing:
You found your baby dolls and love kissing them.  You do the sign for milk.  You drink our of a sippy cup.  You love reading books before naps and during the day.  You love other kids and want to be a part of the action.  You can blow bubbles, click your tongue and try to give us kisses.  You watch Daddy come home and greet him with smiles and laughter.  You eat everything.  You love vegetables, avocado and green beans.  Bath time continues to be a favorite for you.  You love splashing and getting me wet.  You love climbing into your rocking chair and then getting out.  You know what the trash can is and that your diapers go in there. Balloons are fun especially the ones with helium because they float. You carry your puppy (pookie) around everywhere and sleep with her. 

Birthday Cake Pictures for my First Birthday

I huge Thank You to Sears Portraits.

Happy Birthday....Lilia!

 

We are celebrating all week long.  Lilia did not like getting sticky and dirty at the beginning.  Once she took a nibble she decided to have some more.  She was covered in cake by the end.   It was so much fun to watch her laugh, clap her hands, point her finger and scrunch up her nose.

Birthday Month-November

Asher and I are a year older. We both have November birthdays! I decided to celebrate separately this year. We usually do it together. Less cake, same amount of presents. I made Asher's cake. I think it turned out. It was a chocolate cake with caramel, toffee, and whip cream. I layered everything and put it in the fridge. Tasted Great! I also made dinner and made his favorites, Moroccan Shrimp with rice. I am still working on that recipe but it was all gone at the end of the meal.

I did not want to make my own cake and so I had a friend make my cake. I had a coupon from her for a free cake. Lydia Spencer is so awesome. She made my wedding cake for the reception here in TN. I remember she gave me a magazine with cakes in it and I just picked one. It was just like the picture and tasted great! Her cakes always taste so good. I think that is hard to do as well as look good. I have a problem with that area at least. I called her up and asked if she had time to make my birthday cake. She asked what I wanted and I had no idea but I did want chocolate! I told her things I like to do and sewing was on the list.

She made my cake in the shape of a sewing basket. It had everything. She also made me a Pooh Bear! Asher calls me his Pooh Bear. I know it is silly but it was fun that she made one.

We had a great birthdays! It was a fun time. The cake is gone and everything tasted great. I can say that we had a great birthday.
