Happy Birthday, Lily!

Our Lily turned 6 yesterday! She had a fun celebration. Grandma Jane came over and picked her up from school and took her and Joe to the park for a bit. After Alexis and David were out of school, we headed to the movie theater and got to see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was especially fun because it came out yesterday and the kids have always wanted to see a movie on the very first day it is in theaters. After the movie we headed to Wendy's (Lily's choice) for dinner. At home she opened presents, had cake and ice cream and played!

Lily wanted a Webkinz cake, so we made a pig since her very first one was a pig which she named Oinky. I had a great time frosting it. I had never piped an entire cake, so it was an adventure. The hardest part was that Evie wasn't feeling well and wanted to be held the whole day, so about 60% of the cake was frosted with Evie on mom's hip. We will use that as the reason for any errors, not due to my lack of experience in the piping department! It was a delicious cake in the end.

Happy Birthday, dear, sweet Lily! We love you and are so glad you are part of our family.









Loving her gifts!
