Happy 2nd Birthday, Dilan!!!

Dilan is TWO! We can't believe it. She is so cute and so busy and brings a lot of joy and laughter to those around her. We literally smile every day because she's around.

We did a small Elmo birthday party at Chick-fil-a for her this year. We invited a few of her friends from church and our neighbors across the street and she had so much fun! She absolutely loved her balloons and playing with her Dad in the play area. She also did great blowing out her candle on her birthday cake. At first, when I lit it, she blew it out before we sang to her! So, we lit it again, we all sang with her smiling the whole time, and then she blew out her candle again. It really was a lot of fun and she truly enjoyed herself. We are so grateful for the friends who came and for my mom being here to help out. Except for Sam's not having the cake made when I went to pick it up (yes, they almost gave me a heart attack but they ended up making it in like 5 minutes after discussing the situation for like 15 minutes), all went well!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DILAN!!!
