Lilian Turns 4!

Happy Birthday Lilian! Lily was so excited for her birthday this year (as if she isn't every year!)

During the day we went to Festival of Trees, which was really, really busy, but a lot of fun. As we were leaving, Lily's first surprise was waiting for her in the van...

 

A booster seat! She has been looking forward to being four so she could move from her carseat to a booster. I'm excited because now she can unbuckle herself which makes unloading much easier!

We got back in the afternoon and Lily was able to open her present from Grandma and Grandpa Hooker

She LOVES her princess bike and luckily the weather has been good enough to ride it.

For dinner she requested pizza and after dinner we invited all her cousins, aunts and uncles over for cake and ice cream.

We had quite a crowd!

The photographer couldn't resist a self-portrait of himself!

For the cake, I showed Lily 3 pictures I found online of cakes I felt like I could copy she chose a princess castle.

It took a little effort and some help to get all the candles blown out.

But she did it!

Sibling love!

Daddy and the Birthday girl.

Lily was so spoiled! She got a bubble gun, and princess castle, a jewelry box and jewelry, a bike, a coloring bag, princess dominoes, a lap book, and cards from Great Grandparents.

She had a great birthday! The next morning when Lily woke up she asked me, "Am I still four?" I think she thought it was a Cinderella thing where the magic of being 4 wore off at midnight!
