Lily's 5th Birthday was celebrated!
It was low key, all things considered, but cupcakes are one detail that is always attended to.
Lily told everyone she wanted Hello Kitty (stuff) and that is surely what she got!
Which reminds me, I would LOVE to find the family picture taken when I was just about her age (ok, maybe older).
My parents actually let me hold up my stuffed Hello Kitty in the family photo!
Not a family snapshot, but a studio portrait. HA!
So I guess I am saying, I understand the obsession.
Miss Lily is 100% awesomeness, and I feel like I have won the lottery having her home with me for another blessed year.
Happy FIVE Lily!

Love the Hello Kitty "stuff" and I too want to see the family photo of you with your stuffed kitty! Sounds like you had parents that knew what kind of battles were worth it and not...

You still amaze me being half a second away from labor and throwing a party like this.

And Tara, I know I have said this before but I look up to you as a mother more than you know. SO glad she is home with you for another year.

She is such a snazzy little lady. I love the pictures of the two of you! I never noticed how much you two look totally alike! She is going to be such an awesome sister to have. We are thinking of you -- with all these new unknowns on their way with your baby girl. Best!

I take one summer of blogging and reading blogs (seriously, there were many a time I'd a rather) and I miss a whole pregnancy! I'm a terrible friend! I'm so excited for you! (keep those legs crossed for a few more weeks!) and I'm excited for little Lilly - whose not so little anymore - and the boys too. There's nothing like a new little one. Nothing. I'd so bring you a casserole, for the kids, and a plate of carton of ice cream for you if I lived anywhere near close. Good luck!
