Celebration....

I love birthdays because it takes what would be an otherwise ordinary day and turns it into something even more fun and special.  Kyla's birthday last week was one of those days for us.

Something that definitely doesn't happen on a typical school morning.....getting to lick cake batter off of the mixer

And on a typical school day, you don't get to wear a crown made just for you

And on that day at 4:44 p.m., I grabbed Kyla, hugged her tight and told her that was the moment seven years ago that I saw her for the first time.

And for Kyla the birthday fun spilled over into the next day, when all of her grandparents and her Aunt Heidi came to help her celebrate.

 
Birthdays definitely make for a special day, but when it is a birthday of a life of someone you love, it is the best celebration.
