On June 13th, 2014 our Lily turned 7!!! Say what?!?! Everyone warned me when Lily was born that it would go by so quickly. They all said you would blink and suddenly your baby would be all grown. As a new stay at home mom, I had a hard time comprehending what they meant, because everyday with just me and Lily at home together felt like a million years long! But now that my baby Lily has turned 7, and it seems to have happened over night, I get it!! Ava reminded me just the other day that her and Lily were junior teenagers and were practically grown!
Lily is the biggest sweetheart of a girl. She is thoughtful, kind, and smart. She is and always has been very articulate. She is a sensitive girl with lots of feelings and she is very good at expressing those feelings. Lily loves reading and writing. Her poems and musings are things to be treasured. I love all that she writes down and her creative spelling is always entertaining. Lily enjoys reading chapter books, among some of her favorites are the Tashi stories and the Weather Fairies collection. Lily is a friend to all and continues to have the best sense of humor. She is very perceptive and picks up on far more than I think she should. Lily loves Wreck it Ralph, Despicable Me 2, and Tangled. Her favorite food is hamburgers and candy! Lily loves playing Barbie with Ava and they could do it for hours! We love her oh so much and wouldn't trade her for anything in the world!!! Happy birthday, Lily bug!!!!
Here's Lily handing out cupcakes to her class for her birthday.
Here are Lily and Ava getting all ready to decorate Lily's birthday cake, that Lily designed herself. :)
It's a Barbie Fairy cake!
I love the dress Lily put on the Barbie.

Ava put on her roller skates right after she found out that Lily got some....

Lily put the candles in her cake....I thought the placement was interesting! ;)

We ended the fun night with a sleep over on the pull out couch! So fun!
We love our 7 year old girl, Lily!
