Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing and having a blessed Monday. Your day filled with motivation and learning that make your heart truly happy. This is a throwback story because my daughter, Morning Belle is now 3 years old. But I still want to share her first birthday with you all, it’s one of my favorite memories.
Her first birthday was very special for us. She is our big blessing after a year of trying to have a baby. Her name is also special, Morning Belle means beauty, together she really is our beautiful morning every single day.
For her first birthday, I choose a Candy Land theme- colorful and sweet just like her, I made most of the decorations myself using cloth I already had, I cut and paint backdrop made by Styrofoam and I only bought balloons to make it brighter. It turned out simple but beautiful.
Morning’s first birthday here on the farm felt extra special because of the people around us. One of the beautiful things about living here is that whenever there’s a celebration, everyone comes together to help, even without an invitation. From setting up tables to preparing food, each person lends a hand with a smile, it’s like the whole community becomes part of the family. Morning is truly surrounded by supportive and loving people who make every occasion more joyful. Their kindness and generosity remind me how blessed we are to live in a place where are always willing to give.
By 9 am, our neighbors, friends and family were already gathered. We started with Bible sharing to thank God for all the blessings. My brother led the prayer and my father-in-law gave a short message. After that, it was time to celebrate.
My mom cooked delicious food and even bought a cake for her granddaughter. My brothers are the one in charge with Lechon. My sister and sister-in-law prepared snacks and made a candy cake tower. The kids loved it. I’m blessed because many people are always willing to help every time we have and occasion.
One of the sweetest moments was when Morning handed out candies to all our guest. The kids were so excited, and the adults enjoyed them too. The place was full of balloons, colorful candies and happy faces.
We also had fun games and short program so that everyone could enjoy and be happy together. I’m so blessed because Morning belle’s godparents gave her so many gifts. As a mom, I can truly feel how much they love my daughter. Seeing everyone laughing, joining the games and celebrating made my heart full. It wasn’t just about the food or the decorations, it was about the love, care and joy shared on her very special day.
We eat together, talked, took lots of picture, and enjoyed the whole day. It was a simple celebration but it was full of joy and love.
Looking back now, I feel so blessed. Morning Belle’s first birthday reminds me how much happiness she brought into our lives.
Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us, and most of all, thank you, Lord for giving us a daughter who makes every day a good morning.
A Sweet Celebration of Love: Morning Belle’s First Birthday Filled with Joy, Candy and Heartfelt Blessings. ❤️
