Five

Lillian's having a very special birthday, and we so enjoyed celebrating with her this weekend! It does not seem possible that this precious one is turning five.  It was a combination party-a little bit Beauty and the Beast, a little bit water slide, and a whole lot of fun!!  This sweet girl had a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends!!

This is just a precious little soul!  Tenderhearted to the core, loves all things princess, prefers everything to be purple and pink and brings joy wherever she goes!!

 Pre-party fun!!  The water slide arrived early, so they did their best to break it in before the party started!! I might add that this thing was huge!!



Lillian told her mom exactly what she wanted, and Lindsey did her best to make it happen! 

Sweet, sweet family!  These little ones are growing up!  We have a third grader, kindergartner and an almost 3 year old!  

Back to the party!  The slide was a big hit!  Reed just wasn't too sure about all the excitement! 

Her sweet expressions as we sang "Happy Birthday", and she blew out her candles!  Happy Birthday to you!

She picked out the exact cake she wanted!  Time to enjoy it and the cupcakes!

Family, friends and fun!

Mrs. Ellen arrived and the girls were thrilled! Aunt Tay and Uncle C left home bright and early to make it to the party.  Pop and I came up a couple of days early.

Back to the slide!

And then time to open presents!!  Maddie's face is in reaction to her Baby Alive!  "That baby does WHAT when you feed it!"

And Reed was definitely confused by all of this!



I am not sure another teacher has ever been as loved as Mrs. Ellen.  She will be missed!

Swinging for the fence!

Now on to the after party!  Everyone but Josh and I took a turn going down the slide!  Josh didn't want to risk hurting his back again, and I don't do things that require me to go over 3 feet off the ground!  Seriously!

You know it's fun when you have to close your eyes!

Fun! Fun! Fun!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!!  We love you so!!!!
