Weekend Fun

When Lilies attack!

Our own little masterpiece

Don't be silly, Daddy. That one is obviously a Pierre Renoir.

Lilie got a special box from Grandpa & Grandma H!
She carried her new dishes all around the house to be
sure we knew that these belong to her.

Have you met my lady-friend?

Whoa. Didn't think I'd get this look for another 12 years or so.

Walking the dog

For her birthday, Lilie got this puppy from her Nana and Papa. She loves to take it for a walk! I'm amazed how how quickly she caught on to how you have to pull it so it will stay on the ground. She likes to bark at it too. I didn't catch any on video but she'll pull it around and say, "Arf, arf!"

Now the dog just needs a name...please leave your suggestions in the Comments section.

The Best Year of My Life

Birthday

1 year later

Oh, how my life has changed since last August...all for the better! Jason and I have been so blessed with this sweet, beautiful little girl.

Here are a few pictures from her birthday party:

What a beautiful mess!

We couldn't let Lilie have *all* of the fun
(I can't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure HE started it)

You'll notice the gigantic pile of toys behind them.
Funny how they only wanted whichever toy the other one was playing with.

However, there were plenty of tiaras to go around

Sorry, Brian! You shoulda' been here to protect him, man! ;)

The Bennetts bought Lilie a kitchen set for her birthday!
Putting it together warranted a whole other party.

She loves it!
Here you see her making her famous giraffe and strawberry soup. YUM!

Thank you to all who came to help us celebrate and we missed those of you who couldn't make it! Love to all!
