Lilly turned 4!

Lilly woke up on July 8th and held up her fingers announcing she was finally this many. It was so cute. She couldn't wait to open presents so we did it first thing while she sat on the kitchen table. Camera from Nana and Papa

new kitchen dishes from Boston, Zane, and Mary

clothes for what? (she opened them out of order) Her new doll! That is what the clothes are for.

Lilly's cake with lots of help making it from Zane and Mary and Lilly. We got the idea from a friends blog, but it looks nothing like hers. I think I had too much help.
Mary and Lilly had to be twins. Don't they look so cute...

We went to Red Robin for dinner that evening so they could sing Happy Birthday to her. She was so shy when they came around. We couldn't get her to stand up or let us get a picture of her smiling.

I can't believe how old she is. It seems like just yesterday. Adam and I couldn't decide for the longest time if we wanted to have one more child. We had two boys and a girl and thought we were settled. But I can't imagine my life without my little sidekick. She is the sweetest little girl with such a strong spirit and determination. She is very headstrong and loves her family like no other. All the kids are so good with her and I am so glad we decided to add her to our family.

Happy Birthday Lilly!
