Lily's 3rd Birthday!

Today my baby girl turned 3!! Honestly, I have no idea how that happened or where the time went. I know I said this last year, but it still holds true today -- as much as I can't believe she is already 3, at the same time I can't believe she is only 3 since I can not recall what life was like without her. We are so lucky to have our Lily. She is such a sweet, smart and wonderful little lady. I love her so much!!!

We started her day off by letting her open 2 of her presents.

She got an Ariel.

And a Snow White dress with matching shoes!

...........

Luckily her birthday fell on a Monday this year, so it was also Chip's day off work! We had considered going to the Children's Museum at the Natural Science Museum in Dallas, but there is so much to see and do, I was afraid it would be too much and she wouldn't get a good nap and would be cranky for her mini party tonight with Grandma & Grandpa. She wanted to go to the park, but it was 33 degrees today!! So we decided to go to Chuck E Cheese for lunch!

Of course she wanted to wear her Snow White dress.

Getting her photo drawn.

I LOVE this photo!

She actually ate her pizza!

And while we were eating, she got an extra surprise when Patti and Emily showed up to play!

(I had told Patti we were going, but wasn't sure if they were going to come by)

She looks way to sad to be a birthday girl at Chuck E Cheese!

After Chuck E Cheese we had to make a quick stop at Market Street to buy M&M Cookies to bring to school tomorrow for Lily's special birthday snack.

My parents came over at 5:30 and Lily was so worn out from her fun morning, that I had to wake her from her nap! We let her open a few more presents before we went to dinner.

My Aunt Karen and Uncle Bob sent her a WebKinz kitty who she LOVES and named Lumpy after the hufalump on "My Friends Tigger and Pooh". She even brought him to dinner with us!

Dinner at BJs.

Lily loves to "eat at restaurants" so we took her out to dinner.

Back home for more presents.

Just a few more . . . .:)

A Snow White doll from Aunt Linda, Uncle Scott and Jeremy (and Murphy -- that is what she said when she opened it! Can't forget Murphy!) :)

Belle!

Happy Birthday Lily!!!!!
