Birthday evening

When Daddy got home from work, he surprised Ayla with a bouquet of hot pink roses! She loved them...she insisted on holding them and asked Daddy to dance with her. So cute.




Since Aunt Marla was out of town over the weekend and wasn't able to make it to Ayla's party yesterday, she had some more presents to open (Grandma and Grandpa's too!)

After dinner, we had a surprise for Ayla...three giant lanterns to celebrate her birthday! Grandma brought her outside blindfolded.
After lanterns, we went back inside and sang happy birthday to her and let her blow out a candle on a single piece of cake. Cake an hour past her bedtime. It is her birthday, after all. :)
I was actually kind of bummed when it was time for her to go to bed. It's been a really really fun couple of days with her. I love seeing her so happy. I hope we made her feel extra special. :)
