100 MONTH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Around here, we celebrate everyday – because life is awesome and should be celebrated!
Today, my oldest daughter Iyla hit a milestone: she turned 100 Months Old!
I know, it’s not common practice to celebrate (or even recognize) this occasion; and trust me, I do not count my kids’ ages by month (there are days I can barely remember how old they are in years, ha!) BUT, 100 Months is a pretty cool reason to shower your little one with a little extra love and attention!



Iyla’s special day fell on a Friday (school day) so we celebrated with a special breakfast.
I set out some simple decorations the night before: a colored table cloth, colored place settings, a paper pom garland, felt banner, and a few handmade signs (scrapbook stickers on paper, easy peasy). At Iyla’s seat I set a glittery bow, new set of shopkins, and a 100th Birthday Card that I modified a little to say “months”.

  

She was truly surprised (and admittedly, a little confused) when she woke up and realized that the decor was for her. Once I explained, she was thrilled and declared today her “LUCKIEST DAY EVER!”



We had a special breakfast of Belgian waffles with whipped cream and I gave her a new outfit and slippers to wear today. Later tonight we are having her favorite dinner (Fish Tacos) and a Sander’s Birthday Cake (a family fav). We have a 100 themed gift box for her to open tonight that includes: The book 100 Dresses, a pack of 100 stickers, a 100 piece puzzle, 100 Oreos, and 100 post it flags (girlfriend loves office supplies, just like her mama!)



EVERYTHING for today’s celebration came from Target or our party-box here at home. Such an easy way to shine some extra love on my special girl.  :: 100 Months of Happy with sweet #iylarue ::
