We Have a 3 Year Old!

So excited to turn 3!!!!!!!!!!!

Lily has been working hard on telling people she is 2 and holding up 2 fingers.  Just as she got that down,  now she needs to work on saying she's 3! We had a great time celebrating this very special birthday.  This was her first birthday party and it was a day that was all about her!

I'm not sure who was more excited about this birthday - me or Lily!  The celebration started off with cupcakes at school with Lily's class.  This was the first time that I spent any amount of time in the class and let me tell you, those are the ten cutest 2/3 year olds ever!

She got so tickled when her class began to sing Happy Birthday to her!

Mmmm....

On the way home.  Celebrating at school can wear one out!

For me?

Yea for me!

Dinner was one of Lily's favorite - my homemade spaghetti sauce.  Bonny and "Bobert" came over and we ate, then opened presents and followed that up with cake.  Lily loved opening up all her presents.  She now has some new toys that aren't all chewed up by Gracie and Roxi.  So far, we've been doing a good job and picking them up before we leave or go to bed at night.

Jump, jump, jump

First time to see a candle on a cake!

I think she had a great day and like all kids, she now knows how to enjoy her birthday.  She may have missed her first two birthdays but she won't miss anymore!  We are so glad that we got to be the ones to share her first birthday party with her.
