Family Party

My favorite part of Lily's birthday was our family party. I love to see the other kids get so excited and their efforts to make it a special day for her. They were busy making cards and coming up with the perfect gifts.

Carson made her a sweet card and made a necklace with a heart charm that he had found.


Emma also made her a darling card and gave her her old i pod since she just got a new one for her birthday.


Lily was so happy.

Here is Lily blowing out her candles on her wedge of cake. I had Lily and Brinn make the cake from scratch and lets just say it didn't hold together very well but it was still really tasty.

Lily's Birthday!!!

Happy birthday to Lily. I can not believe she is 6. I decided this year that she will now be getting younger with each birthday, unfortunately she didn't like that idea.:(

I didn't have ANYTHING planned for young Lily's birthday, so that morning I ask here what she wanted to do. Lucky for me she came up with a great plan. She wanted to go out to lunch at BJ's and them go to build a bear. We called Brinn and off we went.

Thank goodness for fun menus.

Picking out clothes.


Lily was thrilled when she found this David Archuleta shirt. I didn't know she was such a big fan.
