Happy Birthday to McCanless!
My sweet McCanless turned seven on Wednesday, January 5. She shared cupcakes with her classmates…
and that evening the four of us celebrated at one of her favorites, Miyabi’s. (Japanese) She received many phone calls from aunts and grandparents wishing her a happy 7th year!
On Thursday night, we also had a small family dinner at another favorite, Los Tres. Where else? (By small, I mean the usual: Aunts, uncles, grandparents, the whole crazy crowd.)
Then on Saturday…
SURPRISE!
Where is McCanless? As soon as she walked in and everyone jumped out yelling, “Surprise,” she ran and hid.
Not for long, however!
This is Bobby D, the infamous piano player at Louchi’s. We found out that he and McCanless share a January 5th birthday! He was gracious enough to play special birthday songs just for her!
The party continued at home with Just Dance on the Wii!
Later that night as McCanless snuggled in the bed with me, she told me that her surprise party was awesome, the best party ever.
Happy 7th Birthday, Lillie McCanless!

Happy Birthday, McCanless! I remember your very first birthday party at your house. I remember your big candle in your cake. Your mom is so creative and wonderful! Hope to see you all soon!

Seven is a lucky and magical number, my love! I’ve had seven wonderful years as Nonnie and can’t wait to see what happens in the next 7 plus years! I’ve enjoyed all of your parties, expecially the cakes-thanks CJ’s.
I love you, Cannie! NON
The pictures tell a wonderful story of love, laughter, and family!!!
