Father's Day 2011

Dad, you are the best dad in the whole world.

You give me more love, attention, hugs, and kisses than I could ever ask for.

Thank you for the frothy bottles, warm baths, and hours spent holding and rocking me.

You make me the happiest little girl on the planet.

When I'm in your arms, I know I'm safe, protected, loved, and that everything is right in the world.

I treasure every moment we spend together.

I love you with all my heart and soul.

Happy Father's Day.

Love, Lillian

friends

Thank you to Sheridan and Danielle for opening up your cute home and beautiful yard for a fabulous party in honor of Lillian. And thank you to all my friends for the amazing time and effort you put in to make me feel so loved and special! Everything was perfect, from the setting and weather to the friends, food, and favors.

I think the other half of this cake was on my plate.... so delicious!

Alana's homemade jam? I'll take two, please.

johansen family baby shower

My aunt Cindy was generous enough to host a baby shower at her house for me and Lillian. The night was full of fun friends and family, delicious food, and wonderful gifts. Everyone was so excited to meet Lillian, even though she pretty much slept through the entire night!

June and Summer were great helpers at bringing me the gifts- they were just as excited to open them as I was.

Grandma Jo., always in charge!

My mom was the designated baby holder, and did a great job of not letting anyone get their germs on Lillian. Everyone we know has been so kind, generous, and supportive as we have welcomed Lillian into our home and family. We have had several showers with my family, Dave's family, co-workers, ward members, and friends. Although I forgot my camera at many of those events, I can't let the opportunity pass to give an enormous THANK YOU to everyone who has surrounded our little family with love.
