A life to Celebrate!!!! Caroline is ONE!!!!!




Thanks to Leigh Ann Butler for the Banners and the hat! And to Robin for the precious bib!!!
And to Lynn for the adorable smash cake!!
The invitation read Come and Celebrate with Me, A Grand Parade is What it Will be. Caroline is Turning One and We Want to Have Some Fun1

Lunch was served with an assorment of tea sandwiches....including PBJ, Homemade Pimento and Cheese, and a Roast Beef with Maytag Bleu Cheese spread. I stacked the sandwiches for the party. The above pic was the only one I got pre-stack.
Chicken fingers, and the staple cream cheese with pepper jelly spread for a dip
The Oh so Good, BLT dip! Bacon, sour cream, and mayo mixed, layered over lettuce and topped with fresh tomatoes!!! YUMYUM!
Lynn made the CAKE! It was soooo good. She tiered like the invitation and I made the toppers with Leigh Anne's scraps!

The above pics are some of pumpkins gifts....she got toys, books, and clothes, a slide and a new pink car!! THANKS so much to everyone that gave her a gift!!
Lynn also made the delicious balloon and 1 sugar cookies!! Favors included bubbles too!!

On April 24, 2010 we gathered to celebrate the short lil life our most PRECIOUS ANGEL from HEAVEN!!! WOW-what a year. Caroline Grace Benson born April 27, 2009 was about to be ONE. The joy, terror, love, fun, laughter, tears, stress, sleepless nights.....an array of wild emotions and more LOVE than words can express was about to be celebrated. It had to be PINK and it had to be fun!!! I wanted music, dancing, food, toys, and lots of laugter to reflect the new life that was before not only Caroline but her father and me as well. And that is exactly what we tried to do.....A PARTY to REMEMBER! A life to CELEBRATE and a LOVE like no OTHER!!!!



THANK YOU LORD for giving us such a precious gift. We will strive to do the best we can in raising her to be in your likeness and with the love, joy, and peace that only you can give. When I think about my wish for her life....it is to LOVE like you LOVED us!!!!! Unconditional LOVE!
