Lily Birthday

Lily enjoyed her birthday for days.... we started celebrating on her birthday.......they had a cupcake celebration at her preschool, and then had a small family party on the weekend.
She had a great 4th birthday!

The morning of her birthday started with her favorite breakfast....
BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLES
She could eat these every morning!


Reading a birthday note from dad while mom makes the favorite waffles...

Dad even left one for Ty


We made ladybug bracelets.....


Ty made one too... they were so serious during the creating process.... so happy with their finished bracelets.


After a fun filled day she opened her big present from us.... An American Girl doll....
She didn't like her at first and then she did and then the next day she didn't.



Party pictures coming soon!!!!!

Making wonderful memories - along with the waffles and the bracelets. It makes me feel happier just to look at the pictures of Lily being happy, which she does so well.

My almost 4 year old daughter had the same reaction to the American Girl doll she got for Christmas - one day she loves her, the next she doesn't, and so on. That's so funny! Adorable pictures!

Tiffany, what a wonderful b-day! Sounded fun. Why didn't she like her doll? Thank you from Eliza for the V-tines card; Ty and Lily looked so cute. Eliza wouldn't let go of the card for days. I've still got Lily's b-day card to get in the mail. It's addressed and ready to go. We've all been sick for weeks here. I'll try for tomorrow. Hope the packing is going smoothly. Hugs to Lily from Eliza and I.

I just found your blog through Sarah (E is for Eliza). I might have been here before, but I'm not sure. Your kids are so adorable. Happy Birthday to your Lily.

We were in China getting our Lily the same time your husband was in China getting Ty. Too funny - we might have crossed paths at the White Swan!

I enjoyed reading back through some of your blog!

Just got caught up on your blog-haven't been on in awhile-as usual you take the best pictures! Lily and Ty are so beautiful and so happy-it brings tears to my eyes! I love your captions also. You do such a great job w/the blog and making memories for your kids. (memories not only captured forever on the computer but w/the little things you do w/them everyday) You are such a good mom!!!! Love-Cheryl
