Lyla's Birthday started with the donut and balloon! After all the festivities she had to endure for Mac last month she was super anxious for her own birthday.
We played during the day, and that night we met with the family at Brick Oven to celebrate
After dinner we went back to our house for presents and cake.
She got this purse and tiara from Aunt Cindy and loved it!
That Saturday (two days later) was her party day. She decided she wanted to pick a few friends and go do something instead of just party at home. She chose to go to Airborne, a trampoline park.
I think this is my best cake yet, of course it had to be Frozen. She LOVED it, and was so excited to show it off to her friends. I really enjoyed making it too.
Her cute little friends that came. Kate, Leila, Miles and Gavin.
Pizza, cake and ice cream afterward.
I think overall Lyla had a great birthday and party. I can't help but go all out and spoil them rotten every year.
As a 5 year old update, Lyla in the last few months learned how to snap, swing by herself, ride her bike without training wheels and swim. She is very good at learning new things and picks up on everything quickly. She surprisingly gets shy when asked to perform or is in a new situation with large groups of people. She gets nervous about new things, like 4-wheeling or going down the slide at the pool for the first time, but once we convince her to do it she usually loves it. Two things I love that she says- I love that more than the holy world (instead of whole). And will say sprinklers instead of sprinkles. She has gotten to the point where she sleeps every night with no problems, never wakes up and can even be moved from room to room with no problem. It is so nice to never ever worry about her waking up at night! Her favorite things are Frozen, dress ups, princess dolls, sour candies, anything mint flavored, her brothers, reading books, swimming and playing outside. She is the BEST helper. 99% of the time if I ask her to help me with something she does it, especially if its help with her brothers. She is great at cleaning and keeping things organized. Some days I don't know what I would do without her help. She is stubborn as all get out, and pushes my buttons to the very limit most days, but can also be incredibly sweet and helpful and makes up for the stubbornness.
