She's 3!

Happy Birthday Lily Mae!

The night before Lily's birthday I decorated the living room so she would wake up to a fun surprise.

 Kobe and I had all the presents wrapped the night before, he was so good about keeping them all a secret! 

During the day we played at home and went to Wendy's for lunch.  For dinner Lily wanted pizza and breadsticks and then after dinner came the really fun part. Presents and cake!

 Kobe wrapped his present for Lily by himself. He even decorated the wrapping paper with pictures of him and Lily and their names.

 He got her an outfit for her Lola bear so now both of their bears had clothes.

 Kudo and Lola, their bears, are just as good of friends as Kobe and Lily are!

 She got princess Pjs and princess figurines.

 New church shoes.

 Horse pajamas

 A puppy that goes inside a purse.

 And an Ariel Hair Salon!

Of course for the cake she wanted princesses, which I bought instead of making myself due to major time constraints.

 She loved it all the same!

 She blew out one candle at at time with Kobe jumping in to help out.

 Here she is with all her presents! Thanks everyone who helped to spoil her on her special day!

Playing with her princesses.

Fun Facts about Lily:

• She is in the 89th% for height and 85th% for weight
• She LOVES to sing!
• She spends a majority of her day wearing a princess dress up dress and her blanket tied around her head for Rapunzel hair.  She then carries a plastic frying pan and a brush around with her. The frying pan to hit Flynn Ryder with and the brush to keep that pretty hair of hers in perfect order.
• She likes to have books read to her.
• Loves to watch movies.
• She's potty trained!  About two weeks before her birthday we tried putting panties on her again and this time I guess she was ready because she stayed dry and told me when she needed to go potty.  She did great every day after!
• She refers to herself as Lily Mae. Not Lilian, not Lily, Lily Mae.
• She's going to be a great big sister, she loves babies!
