Happy Golden Birthday Bijou!
I'm hoping that the phrase, "better late than never" applies. It has been a very busy two weeks around here and I have wanted to get this up since the first, but sacrificing sleep before the big race is not a prudent thing. I must say that Bijou's birthday was very special. Janet and many helping hands worked hard to make it special.
Our theme, being a new year baby, and her name meaning jewel, was "JEWELS."
Pretty original, I know. Crowns, rings, necklaces and other pretty things.
Bijou got in a good afternoon nap and we were ready to party!

My two princesses.
Eventually she forgot about the crown on her head.
Grandma can always get a big smile!
She loved her card's, and sat very patiently while we read to her.
She lover her hat she got from auntie Erin.
Her favorite toy was "Elmo's world cart" from The Bone family. Derby, Brad and Amy
She still can't get enough of it!
Lots of help from Derby and cousin Adison.
Time for the cake!
The moment Janet was fearing. She loved SUGAR!
There is literally nothing she dose not like to eat. And cake was no exception. She was a two fisted little princess once she hit that chocolate cake!
Eventually we had to stop her or I'm pretty sure she would have finished the entire thing.
What a special time it was. It was so neat to see her with everyone who was there. We have been so blessed with Bijou and the special relationships that have blossomed because our precious little girl. Life is so precious, it was before, and it is now. We have experienced so much in the past two years. From deep loss to blessed life. It is so important to give each day, each moment perspective. We serve an awesome, gracious God, who gives us the ability to endure the darkest of valleys, to the most joyful mountain peaks.
Everyday is a chance for new beginnings!
Happy Birthday!
