Lila Lu turns 5!
March 16, 2010









Sunday was Lila's birthday. It's hard to believe that my colic-y baby and very challenging toddler has turned out to be the sweetest little 5 year old. She is perfectly girly, loves ballet and playing with her baby dolls. She carries a little silver purse with picture of a puppy on it and inside is lip gloss and eye shadow that she applies every quarter of an hour.
We threw her a wonderful PINK birthday party with the best balloon twister (per lila's rquest).
Christine from miss balloon heart was amazing and her creations were a hit with moms and daughters. We served turkey sandwiches in flower cut outs, fresh strawberries, cheese crackers and raspberry lemonade. Cupcakes with sugar flower decorations were for dessert. I set up a polka dot backdrop for portraits of each guest and filled the dining room ceiling with pink balloons.
Lila had the best time. Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! We love you.

Rachel these photos are so cute. You are amazing with the details. I am so sorry that I didn't make it to the birthday but Eloise (and Janie) had a great time. They love their flower pots. Thanks!! Xx Annie
