Lyla turned TWO yesterday! There were so many moments throughout the day when I couldn't even believe it but also, I can hardly remember life without sweet and spunky spirit in it. This girl is SO loved and the way she smiled and giggled as we sang 'Happy Birthday' to her, I knew she felt it.
Balloons and donuts for breakfast for the birthday girl!
Her party wasn't until the afternoon so we let her open a couple presents in the morning ... bottles for her babies and the cutest new outfit!
The weather was really cloudy and rainy so it made it difficult to get bright pictures but I was so thankful I planned for an indoor party this year so I didn't have to worry about it aside from that! Lyla LOVES her baby dolls so I knew it would be the perfect birthday theme ...
The cutest baby doll balloon!
I kept her cake a simple white buttercream and added a baby bottle to the top with "spilled milk" (coconut down the side). We also had sugar cookies that spelled 'baby doll' and a white chocolate bark/snack mix with pretzels, chex, berry cherrioes, and m&m's that was to die for!
The party game prizes or gifts for her guests were chapsticks and these pacifier dip candies.
I had everything set out but still covered up for the party and I caught the birthday girl red handed stealing a cookie from the cookie jar ... ;) her face! haha
We had a photo booth that mimicked the box of a popular baby doll from the store called the "Wee Baby Stella"! Our not-so-wee baby Lyla ...
We kept the party small and invited cousins! We missed Abby because she was sick.
The kids had the best time playing pin the binky on the baby and doing a ring toss around a baby bottle! Everyone put their binky in the exact same place so I'm pretty sure there were holes in that blindfold. ;)
So proud of herself!
Lyla loved celebrating with her cousins!
After games we sang 'Happy Birthday' and had cake!
The cutest dolly at the party!
She wanted to blow out her candles from the moment they were lit ...
Her sweet cousin, Ava, wanting to help feed her bites of cake. haha
She was so fun to watch as she opened her presents ... every single one she'd gasp, "A box a box a box!" haha Our baby doll loving girl got plenty more baby dolls and a new stroller to push them all around in. My very own mini momma!
She also got the cutest unicorn backpack that she loves packing around!
The last 24 hours have looked something like this ... taking her babies for loops around the kitchen ...
I love her I love her I love her!
As siblings do, Liam had a bit of a rough time with her birthday. He wanted her balloons to be his, her cake to be his cake, and you can guess how present opening went. Luckily his birthday is a month away because his countdown is on! He has the most tender heart and it was sweet seeing how cute he was with her baby dolls. This was another one of mine from when I was little. I've passed one of mine on to her for each birthday now.
After the party they finally calmed down from their sugar high and were feeding their babies. ;)
Lyla you bring so much light, joy, and character to our family! We are so glad you're ours forever. We hope you feel so loved and so special every single day! We love you so much! Happy Birthday beautiful girl!! XO
