Lillie's 6th Birthday

Man, I hate it when your pictures blog in reverse. Well, here is Lillie's birthday from finish to start:

My parents, our next door neighbors, and Allison and her now missionary came over for cake and presents. We had a nice relaxing evening in the front yard. Amazingly it was only semi-sweltering outside!
Here is the birthday girl with her new set of wheels. She had been waiting a long time for this. (Bonus - you can just catch a peek of our new car in the corner... the gold one. Tim is happy not to be driving a chick car anymore)
Lillie picked Chili's for her birthday dinner and here she is with her favorite guy in the world!
In the morning I took the kids to pump it up to start the day off right. I personally love this place and I love even more that it's free for me but I still get to go down the slides. If you've never gone down a 20 foot high bouncy slide, you've gotta try it. All the kids had so much fun!

Lillie at 6:

Favorites - Barbie, Hello Kitty, Art, Putting on make-up, wearing tights, picking out her own clothes, doing her own hair, being in charge, singing and dancing to the radio, swimming - Lillie has completely taught herself how to swim this summer, and taking care of her brother Grant

Best Friends - Becca and Ruth Holland, Madison and Brooklyn Zufelt, Abby Serenil, Johnathan Hurt, Asher Hardman, and her brother Samuel. Those two play together all day everyday with minimal fights. I love to see that, it really melts my heart!

Dislikes - Mom telling her what to do, not wearing tights, eating her vegetables, mom combing the tangles out of her hair - there are screams about that every morning!

We love you Lillie! We know you'll have a great year in 1st grade!
