We are the Millers

If you haven't heard of her, Laney Brown was an amazing little girl who had cancer.  I didn't know her personally and I don't ever remember seeing around even though we lived five minutes from her house.  You can read more about Laney on her website or Facebook page: Team Laney Facebook Page Laney's Legacy of Hope One of the things Laney wanted before she died was to have Christmas carolers come to her house.  Once this wish was put out there, everyone in our area, and some people from farther away, came to sing Christmas carols to that sweet girl.  My husband and I attended.  It was craziness!  There were over 10,000 people crammed into the street outside of her house singing carols for her. Laney died on Christmas day last year.  It was devastating to her family but it was also devastating to all of us.  That little girl brought so many people together.

Well I have a one year old.  I can't believe that my sweet little boy is already a year old.  We just had his one year check up so I'll post more on that later.  How about some details about his first birthday party?! Let me start off by saying that the whole birthday was based off a personalized banner that I won in an IG auction.  Handmade by Fanya was so awesome!  She made me this awesome mustache birthday banner and matching cupcake picks.  I couldn't have asked for anything better.  Even the invitations were based off of the banner! The red balloon was added for two reasons.  1. In honor of #redballoonsforryan 2.
