I never got around to posting any of these precious newborn pictures we had taken of Aliyah, so I'm posting them now with her birthday pictures...I just love them!
Here is a precious one of her and her Daddy dear~

Mommy and Baby

Happy first birthday, little sweetheart---
we love you lots!


God be with you, little one,
on your very first birthday,
and may He walk beside you
each step all along life's way.
Gently may He guide you
and guard you from above--
sheltering you with perfect peace, with tenderness, and love.


My sister-in-law, Regina, taught me how to make this wonderful frosting. Thankfully, beings this was the first time I'd made it, she was on hand to help me with it as I would have messed it up I'm afraid! It's a Swiss meringue butter cream--uses lots of egg whites and tons of butter, but is it ever lovely!!! 


Aliyah with her personal baby cake (I used the cupcake on top for that!)

Oh, what a fun yummy mess!:o)
Notice, we changed her clothes for this part:o)

God keep you, Baby dear, and give you a long and blessed life for His glory~ We all love you so much~ what a special gift you are from God and how good He was to bless our lives with you!
