Well, we did! Even though Kayleigh wasn't physically here, she was here with us in spirit as we celebrated her first birthday. We bought balloons, our wedding cake maker made us a beautiful pink and brown cake and Debbie from New Zealand, a good blog friend had some delicious butterfly cupcakes delivered to our house this morning. We wrote a big card/letter to her on a dry erase board and we cooked a delicious dinner on the grill. We planted several flowers in our yard that were from Kayleigh's memorial and we enjoyed a wonderful day thinking of our sweet angel.
"Kayleigh. Happy birthday sweetheart! Mommy and I love you so very much and we had a wonderful day today celebrating your birthday. I know you were there with us and I wish so much that I could give you a big kiss. You are so special and so many people are thinking of you today. I am sure you are having a beautiful day today and I am sure you received more gifts than you can imagine up there. Just know that we miss you dearly and there is not a second that goes by that we aren't thinking of you and wishing we could squeeze you one more time. Brandon and Allyson said hello and they love you. Have the best day today and know that we love you tons!"
"We took some photos for you Kayleigh"
God Bless,

Happy Birthday Kayleigh. You are truly and unbelievable angel. What a beautiful day! I know she was celebrating right along with you.
Happy Birthday Kayleigh!!
I love Kayleigh's cake...just beautiful. We have cake and ice cream and do a balloon release every year for my son's birthday. He was born @ 22 weeks and died at birth so we have never had the joy of celebrating his birthday together...but we know that one day we will have the best celebration in Heaven!
Praying for peace for your family.
I am glad you got to enjoy Kaleighs birthday as you should. I know you miss her dearly and are so thankful for the day she came into your lives. Now can I eat with yall next time you grill cause that seriously looks awesome!

Happy Birthday, Kayleigh!
Happy birthday, sweet baby Kayleigh! You are so loved both here on Earth and in Heaven. The way your family celebrated your birthday was beautiful. I know you are smiling down on them, happy that they enjoyed the day on your behalf. I was thinking of my grandpa today and how this will be our first 4th of July without him with us. Give him a kiss for me, okay?
Wow! You never cease to amaze me. I would have most likely been curled up in bed cying my eyes out. You are all so beautiful and the fact you decided to celebrate Kayleigh on her birthday was so touching, I can't even begin to tell you the warmth that is overflowing from my heart right now. Just beautiful. Bless you & your family.
The cake is amazing too, btw.

Aimee and Adam and children,
I have stopped in from time to time to see if anything was written, and was surprised to hear of a birthday celebration. I'm sad she couldn't be there either to smash cake and pop balloons, but Heaven must have had some kind of party.
God Bless you all

Happy Birthday Kayleigh! I'm late, but I did think of you on your day. I love your pink and brown cake! Someone did an awesome job!!
Adam, you should see if someone will make you guys a new button. Something like. In honor of Kayleigh, or Remembering Kayleigh, our 1 lb miracle...etc. I'd love to sport it. ;)
You guys are amazing, just like Kayleigh.
