Happy 5th Birthday Iris!

Iris Luciana

She came out crying...

and hasn't stopped since!

Okay, that's not exactly true.

But sometimes it certainly feels like it!

This girl graces us with plenty of smiles,

tons of sweet laughter,

and a heart so big and pure.

And yet,

there's definitely some sass

sprinkled in there.

And every now and again,

it gets her into a fair amount of trouble!

Samuel nicknamed her,

"Sweet n' Sour"

And that is no joke!

...

Iris,

Your mum and dad love you to pieces!

 You bring us great, great joy,

and it is so fun to watch you grow!

Have lot's of fun today,

and every day after!

Love,

Your parents

Your celebration began with Grandma Rose and family!

Grandpa Jose with grandsons, Gabriel and Owen!.

Ava Grace and Lola

Samuel giving your new helmet a try.

Then, we had "Birthday Sunday" at Grandma Clista's!

Happy Birthday Iris & Lennon!

Aunt Rachel did a great job with the lego cakes!

After all the celebrating with family,

your real birthday finally arrived.

What better way to start the day,

than with a chocolate cupcake for breakfast!

I love your smile!

Since it's your special day,
you were in charge of the dinner menu!

What did you pick?

Homemade Pepperoni Pizza, of course!

A cupcake for breakfast does NOT count as your official dessert!

Let's see if you can muster enough air to

blow out candles for yet another cake!

Well done, baby girl!



Iris,

We hope you had a wonderful,
wonderful birthday!

We love you so much!

Keep on being you, sweetheart.

Remember,

"We love you because you're you!"

Love always,

Mom & Dad
