Sweet Lily got the amazing idea to have a limo birthday party. She really really really wanted to get dressed up and have a limo come to pick up her friends and take them to dinner and then they could all spend the night afterwards. This sounded like a great plan to me -- only problem was that it was way more money than I wanted to (or should) spend on a 9 year old's birthday party. Fortunately, I have very smart friends who suggested we do it during the break on a weeknight, when Limo rates are like 50% less than they are on a Saturday night! So that's what we did and she got her party on a Monday night!
All dressed up and ready to go!

The limo was running late -- so she opened presents before we left. She got a Coach wristlet from Caroline!!!
A "Lily" shirt from Sophie.
Lots of gift cards.
And all kinds of fun stuff!
Finally, out stretch Hummer party limo showed up!!

We all toasted Happy Birthday to Lily with sparking Cider and Sprite.
My friends, Christie, Julie and Rhiannon came along for the party too!
No party is complete without these two!!

We went to the Magic Time Machine restaurant for dinner. It is a fun crazy themed restaurant where the waiters are different characters. It was perfect. The kids loved it.
