Back it up.....

Our little firecracker Lillie turned 6 on Oct. 19th, 2010. It seems like forever ago, but I couldn't let it go undocumented. She started the day off with breakfast in bed (request: Eggo waffles, syrup, orange slices with orange juice). Then, she opened a few presents.

The main present she wanted this year was to get her ears pierced! Here she is all smiles before it happened.

She only shed a couple of tears. This process is always WAY harder on the dad than the girls. I think Brad wanted to cry more than Lillie did.

Here she is with her new cute earings. She picked pretty pink diamonds. That night for her birthday dinner she wanted "Spicy Soup" (Chicken Enchilada soup), with salsa, tortilla chips, sour cream and grapes.

For her birthday party she wanted a water party at the park. This was the first year that Abbie and Lillie had separate parties. It was fun seeing them interact with their new friends they have made here.

Brad and I spent the morning filling up over 200 water balloons. It probably took us over 2 hours and the balloons were gone in less than 2 minutes!

We timed the party so that it happened when the sprinklers at the park would turn on. These girls had a blast with these huge sprinklers.

The birthday girl!


Her Tinkerbell Cake

We also did a little Halloween Mask craft at the party. They all looked so cute in their masks.

The best part of the whole party was toward the end, Lillie ran up to me and said, "Mom, this is the best party ever!" Hooray, the party was a success.

Happy Birthday Lillie! We love you so much. Our house would be really boring without your fun personality, crazy ideas, and tender heart. You can make anyone laugh and you can tease even better than your daddy. Thanks for always being such a good sister to Abbie and Lucy and being such a sweet daughter.
