Week of Celebrating


Ashlyn's 1st birthday is on Wednesday, so instead of having 1 day of celebrating we are going to have 3. Started off the birthday week with a massively huge BANG! Mom's friends threw Ashlyn a birthday celebration yesterday that will go down in the record books. No detail was overlooked. They had decorations from the front door to the bathroom. A gourmet salad bar fit for a queen, and the most adorable and delicious strawberry cake and ice cream for dessert. Ashlyn was showered with love and gave back lots of smiles. We got books, adorable outfits, some toys, and even an umbrella and rain coat. What a lucky girl! The party ended with a few tears from me, as I was overwhelmed with everyone's kindness, hating that mom wasn't with us. But mostly just thankful that they helped us create this new, positive, and amazing 1st birthday memory. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart!!!!

That made me cry. Your mom would have love celebrating Aslyn's first birthday!!!! To think of her friends knowing that and acting on it is amazing and shows how wonderful a woman Kit was. HUGS Linds! I know this was emotional and also very special.
