After two years of planning, Kayla's big day at the Lion House has finally come. Everyone had a really good time. Grandma Webber made the trip from California to participate, along with Robert, Jenna, Aubrey, and 7 of Kayla's friends. For those of you unaware, the Lion House is the historic home of Brigham Young in downtown Salt Lake City. They have preserved some of the rooms to appear as they originally were 150 years ago and it is a popular place today to hold wedding receptions, parties, and 8 - 11 year old girl birthday parties. It is so popular for birthday parties that Jenna had to reserve the date for Kayla's 8th birthday party back when she was six.The girls enjoyed playing hide the thimble and button/button as well as making taffy and eating
the little tuna fish sandwiches. The hit of the party was the cake with the hidden gumball. Much to everyone's dismay, none of the pieces served at the party had the coveted gumball (don't worry though, once we got home Kayla dug through all the frosting in the leftover cake and found it for her year of good luck). We feel so blessed for the wonderful friends that Kayla, and all of our girls have. They are all sweet girls who enrich our family.
On Sunday (Kayla's actual birthday), the Cain's and the Tomlinson's came over and we had cake and ice cream and Kayla opened her gifts. She loved all her gifts, especially her digital camera from Papa and Grandma Miller and has been busily taking pictures (we may need to get her a larger memory chip) and her baptism pillow.
Kayla is such a precious little girl and we feel so blessed to have her in our lives. It is hard to believe she is growing up so fast on us. Robert can not believe how much she is like Jenna, both in her sweet spirit and her glowing personality. How blessed we all are to have Kayla in our lives.
