Happy 4th Birthday Lily!!!!!

I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but somehow my precious baby girl turned 4 years old this week!!! Part of me can't believe she is already 4, but part of me can't believe she is only 4 -- I mean she is more like 4 going on 16 with her outfits, accessorizing, cell phones, texting, music videos, attitude and overall dramatics. She is a little hoot and I love her to death!!

Her big day fell on a Tuesday this year and since she had dance class and Chip had a wintermester class and work, we didn't have anything exciting planned. But Lily seemed okay with that. After Christmas break she was excited to go back to dance and see Carys, so that made her whole day. Plus I let her choose her TV programs and meals all day long, so that was super exciting for her -- especially since she has recently gotten all TV privileges take away (until she poos in the potty). I even let her have her precious goldfish crackers for the day -- those too, were taken away over a month ago (!!) in an attempt to get her out of diapers once and for all. So she was beyond happy.

My big girl all ready for dance.

With Carys at dance.

Today they started learning the routine for the June recital!! Exciting!

Lily insisted on wearing her "birthday crown" all day long.

In the evening we went to BJs for dinner with my parents. Lily got to choose any restaurant she wanted and she said it was either Chick Fil-A or BJs. So Lily and I got Chick Fil-A for lunch (although I let her order whatever she wanted and all she got was a fruit cup ??) and Bjs for dinner!

Her birthday mini pizookie.

(and her cell in hand)

Yum-o!

Back at home it was present time!

Lily and all her presents spread out throughout the room.

She got a Leapster Explorer and games and more books, toys and a suitcase -- so we are ready to go . . . . somewhere. :)

But her favorite part was playing with the trash!

Playing matador and bull with Grandpa! :)

They are so silly.

Now Lily is a monster and chasing Grandpa around the house.

Wrapping paper fight!

Cake time!

Deep Breath . . .

. . . . and blow!!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl, my angel-poo, my muffin buns, my boo boos!!!! I hope all your birthday dreams and wishes come true!
