it's a celebration!

last night i finished up this wonderful celebration banner. it's going to be a gift for a very special almost one year old in our life. i have another one all cut and ready for the machine, that will be ours.

the idea for it is from this book. in the book she talks about having it be a special part of birthday celebrations in your family. taking it out for each birthday is a special tradition that will be a visual reminder that the celebration is on. i love the idea and hope our kids enjoy it as part of their future celebrations.

of course when i was trying to get a good picture, bee couldn't resist helping. she asked us to "get together" so she could take a few shots of us with the banner. 

here is the best, and silliest one!
