Last month, precious little Mia turned 1.
For those of you new here, Mia is my (first and only) granddaughter who was born prematurely, weighing in just over 3 lbs.
At the request of one person (you know who you are), this is a glimpse of her first birthday celebration.
Her birthday theme was a take on Alice in Wonderland (i.e. "Mia in One-derland") and her mum had the house decorated like a virtual wonderland.
Mia's mum works at an extraordinary floral shop and has an amazing gift for details.
Obviously, I was enamored by the floral arrangements and didn't get photos of much else, but she had little arrow signs all over, giant-sized cards hanging from the ceiling and "Wonderland" clocks all over.
...which the birthday girl enjoyed a little more than she should...
As you see, she is well and thriving. Unfortunately, we learned yesterday that she will need to wear leg braces. Not permanently, hopefully, but this little fighter has had her share of challenges this past year.
Thank all of you who have kept her and her parents in your thoughts and prayers.
