Milla turned ONE on August 6th!!! One year ago a friend wrote us a note about what a PRIVILEGE it is to get to be a parent and watch a little one grow...in this past year I have come to know first hand that is very true! It is amazing that a little baby was born that needed help doing everything and had everything to learn...and now she is on the move, can feed herself, smiles, laughs, dances, pushes buttons, knows that her favorite things to get into are the ones she is not suppose to get!, calls us "MaMa" and "DaDa", points to pictures, hugs Hank,...etc.!!! WOW!!! I have loved every minute!!! Milla is a DELIGHT!
We celebrated with a little "You are My Sunshine" Party!!
Here is the Birthday Girl with her proud parents!We took a few pictures before...but then, things got busy and I barely took any pictures!! Thankfully someone grabbed my camera and got a few. We never got a group shot of all of Milla's cute buddies!!
At this point we had just sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" and Hank was watching from the front row...
Then, before Milla could have her 1st taste of cake, Hank wanted to make sure it wasn't poison... and he took the first lick!
Then, Milla got her turn....
fianlly decided to dig in!
The "big kids" had fun splishing and splashing in the big pool with water--but, Milla and Asher decided to take it easy in the ball pool. 
It is never fun unless you take ALL the toys out!!!
Fun in the driveway.
The best surprise of the day was that Lana, Samuel, Mr. & Mrs. Larson were able to make it!!! They had a Grandmother's 90th birthday to celebrate in Chattanooga the same day---but, somehow they made it at the last minute to celebrate with us too!!!! Yay!!
Brandon picked fresh Sunflowers from a nearby field for his little girl's Birthday (the funny part was that he was in flip flops and only had a tiny pocket knife with him!!...what a good Dad!!)
Lemon Drops to GoHAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!
We had a great day celebrating with family and friends. Thanks to those of you who were able to make it...and those of you who couldn't make it---Thank you also for being sweet friends and being invloved in Milla's life this special first year!!! Many fun times ahead!!

I can't believe she is already one!Looks like she had a great birthday! I love the picture where Hank is licking the cake!
Megan,
I enjoyed seeing the cute pictures of Milla's birthday party. That is funny that Hank got the first lick of her birthday cake! Loved the pretty decorations. The sunflowers were great and the lanterns and one of your beautiful painted signs, "You are my Sunhine". The lemon drop to go bags were also a cute idea. Wish I could have been there! Maybe next year. Love, cc
