I can't believe my baby is 7 years old. She is definitely growing up way too fast. But she is growing up into such a sweet, smart, thoughtful, caring, beautiful, subborn and amazing young lady and I am so proud of her. She is my little bestie!! For the first time ever, we are having her birthday party on her actually birthday -- so the night before we had her family birthday with Grandma and Grandpa, went out to dinner and gave her her presents.
The following pictures of her opening her gifts just demonstrates how sweet she is . . . it is HER birthday and she let Dani help open her presents. We actually had to stop Dani from opening them all herself. Lily is very thoughtful towards her sister.
Since we were getting a cake the next day, Grandma just brought cupcakes tonight.
I can't remember if I blogged about this before or not, but since she has a birthday near Christmas, she wrote a letter to Santa Claus on Christmas Eve and asked if her elf, Kingy, could stay until her birthday. Of course, Santa said ok and she was SO excited. So Kingy has been hanging around the last 10 days. He showed up one morning dressed as a cupcake with a birthday hat and had a Elf on The Shelf birthday book for Lily. On her birthday, Kingy wrote her a goodbye note since it was time for him to go home and gave her a new Barbie doll. He is such a sweet elf and Lily misses him already.
Her birthday was off to a good start. Now, it is time to start the parties!! Yes . . . I said parties!
