Happy Birthday, Lily

This past Wednesday we celebrated Lily's 5th birthday.  We had grandpa and grandma over for dinner.  She picked out the meal for that night - spaghetti and meatballs!  My girls love that dinner.  And we topped it off with chocolate ice cream (yuck - but she loves it) and a Cat in the Hat birthday cake.

It's so hard for us to believe that she's 5 already.  It seems like just yesterday I was laboring for her (she was my easiest labor - not the shortest, she was 4 hours, but definitely the easiest with no back labor, tearing, etc.).  She's grown up into such a sweet and beautiful little girl.  I couldn't imagine our family without her and her personality.  So, Happy Birthday, Lily!  We love you so much!


Lily loves the Cat in the Hat.  So we decided to do that for her birthday this year.

Us singing Happy Birthday to her.  She's been really shy lately and she was so embarassed.

Blowing out the candles.  Go, Lily, Go!

Emma reading Lily her card with grandpa.

Opening gifts.  I think this one was from her sisters.

I love her huge open-mouth smile.  She was so excited!

More books.  She loves books even though she can't read yet.

She got rain boots and a rain coat from Marc and I.  We bought the umbrella a few weeks ago.  She's been wearing the boots and coat around the house every day for the last few days!  I'm so glad that she loves them!
