Kylie's First Birthday!

Alyssa & Kevin are proud parents of precious Kylie Rose who celebrated her first birthday yesterday with a beautiful garden themed party. Kylie is such a special part of our family. She was my beloved grandmother's second great great grandchild and has been a blessing to everyone! Her smile and energy makes every get together full of fun and laughter. Kylie and her parents were displaced because of Hurricane Sandy when Kylie was only 6 months old. They lost everything! It was heartbreaking for a young family to gather basics and make more enormous sacrifices to get back on their feet. They had help and it made them stronger. In some ways, Kylie's first year is a reflection of so much that they have been through and how much love and support they are blessed with. It was my honor to make some garden themed cupcakes for Kylie's birthday party. There was a huge candy bar and an amazing castle cake and yet they still wanted my humble cupcakes there too. I was more than happy to make them. My wish is that this next year is more about their gains and moving forward....watching Kylie blossom like a beautiful flower that has weathered a storm. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET KYLIE ROSE!
