Party Pics!

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, but here is a recap of Lily's birthday party:
First, it was about as perfect as it could be. Lily was a HAPPY girl from the moment she woke up till the second her head hit her pillow last nite. We had a wonderful morning cleaning the backyard and baking cupcakes (Lily in her NEW apron)...she was a huge helper. Then she got ready in her princess dress and waited anxiously for her guests to arrive. Booma D and Papa D were first (and they're staying until Monday-YAY!!!!) She was talking a mile a minute, catching them up on everything they've missed over the past few months. Then the rest of the gang arrived and the party was ON.

















There was food, a pinata, squirt guns, bubbles, a new caterpillar sprinkler (which got put to use right away), a kiddie pool, and just lots of fun. Lily is now the proud owner of a scooter, a big-girl bike, her first Webkin, lots of pretty clothes, and so much more!




































































When we wished Lily a happy birthday she was quick to remind us that she isn't 4 QUITE yet...not till Thursday. But, it was a wonderful celebration for a wonderful (almost) 4 year old.

Wonderful party, love Lily's party dress(gorgeous)and I bet the cupcakes tasted extra special since the birthday girl had a hand in making them!!
Great idea for the pool, guess you were having some humid, hot temps too!!
Extra hugs going out to Lily, happy birthday.
You gotta love kids birthday, they love them to go on for days, I'd just rather skip them at my age , LOL.
Jennifer had three parties, Friday, Saturday and Monday, crazy fun...
Best wishes Lily. :D
