My baby is 6 years old today. We have reminisced so much this weekend on how we never knew if we would ever see Ivee have this many birthdays! I feel so incredibly blessed to celebrate another year of life with Ivee here on this earth. I am reminded everyday of this when I see the pictures of links of friends that will only see their child again in heaven.
Well, we celebrated like a Princess and had a great time at Ivee's Birthday Festival of the Lanterns. Enjoy the pictures of our celebration this past weekend, and if you would like, leave Ivee a birthday message here. I will read all of them to her!
We begin with Ivee's Rapunzel/Tangled cake. Mom likes to experiment and try new things. This year it was sugar art. Unfortunately, as I suspected might happen, humidity won out on some of it. My grass art didn't quite make it over night to the party. Some managed to stay upright, however!
Mom took a shot at this Pinterest Idea. I combined some ideas to come up with Jello sailboats.
I spent a couple of months planning and this past week making most of the decorations. Here are the festival pennants, and some frying pans! :)
Couldn't be a Tangled festival without lanterns. I spent a couple of nights drawing, cutting, taping, and gluing about 15 of these!
We are blessed to have so many friends who love and cherish our baby girl. Wish we had room to invite them all. Many have shared Ivee's journey with us.
Getting some lovin' from Mrs. Cathy, Angela and Catina!
Present time!!
The candle really tried to win that night. It took MANY tries to get that thing out!
(This one just kills me!)
Favorite Cousin in the whole wide world. They are so precious together. She loves her Haley!
The Princess on her royal Trike! Ms. Elana and Mr. Brian got her three license plates to change out. Ivee chose the "Jesus loves me" tag and mom put "Spoiled" on the front! Oh, is she, and she deserves every bit of the spoiling!
The decorations and paintings once the sun went down, from our porch.
Lanterns and turtle pond all lite up!
I spent Tuesday baking cakes, cleaning and painting this mural for Ivee on the back door! She loved it so much she gave me sugars without asking!!!!
Anna, Brittney's bestie, helped with painting as well. She relived the moment of Rapunzel letting her own lantern go.
Brittney brought us some nature and Pascal!!!!
Thank you God for your every blessing on this family! For the things you have taught me, things that I could never have learned without this journey!!! You are a gracious and loving God and I thank you for the miracle of Ivee I see everyday!
