Happy Birthday Lillybug!

**Warning Lots of pictures ahead**

We had a really fun time this weekend. It was Lilly's 3rd birthday.
It was a two day celebration.
On Saturday, Blake and I had decorated the house with balloons so that when Lilly woke up she would see them all. Next, our good friend Kathy came over to get her hair done and bring by Lillian's Birthday surprise. She had got her a doll (and a hoodie). Lilly LOVED the doll.
She will make a good mom someday.
After Kathy's hair appointment, Blake and I took the girls to Arctic Circle for Lunch.
Its Cheap the all the girls can play in the playland.

What fun.

Gracie was too involved with a new friend she found there to get her picture taken.
After we Got back from lunch the girls played (fought over) with the new baby doll of Lilly's.
We played and cleaned and I tried to put them down for naps but it just wasn't happening. A tradition in our little family it to take the girls (for their birthday's) to the Mayan.
So, that night, we took the girls out to dinner.
We waited and waited for a table.Here is Gracie waiting.

Emily and Daddy waiting.
After an hour wait we finally got in.
Now for those of you who don't know what the Mayan is..its a Mexican restaurant with Cliff divers and Aztec story lines as entertainment. The girls really love going there.
And with the new menu the food is really good.
Here is one of the characters.

It was neat because they had the characters walking around and talking to people in between the dives.Emily loved the divers.Lilly's Drink

Lilly watching the divers. She thought it was cool.
We were in the splash zone..Gracie was really hoping to get wet.Here are the girls after dinner. Check out Lilly, she nearly fell off the Giant snake.
Totally funny shot.
The next day (after church which btw I was called to work in the Nursery) we got ready for the family party. Presents were wrapped and Cake was set out.
Lilly wanted a Tinker Bell Cake. It was also my niece Becca's eleventh birthday that week.
So we were celebrating that as well.
Here are the birthday girls getting ready to blow out their candles.Lilly enjoying her cake and ice cream. She is a card.
She had that green frosting on her face the whole night.

(i know my poor sweet husband wants a boy so bad.) She loved it.
Here is Lilly trying to get to Grandma to say thank you. she is yelling, "GRANDMA!!!!"Joey and Blake.
Becca, Happy Birthday!!
After every one went home and the Cowboys beat the Eagles, I got Lilly settle in bed so she could fall asleep.
She was so tired.
But she wanted her back pack and blanket grandma got her and her new baby Kathy got her so she can go to sleep.
And that is just what she did.Happy Birthday Sweet Lilly bugga. I love you so much.

**side note: we have been trying to get Lilly fully potty trained. And for the first time she wore panties all day. She did really well. She says that pull ups are for babies and she is three and not a baby any more. Happy day.**

Gosh they are growing up so fast. Looks like a great birthday party with all the family around, we are so envious! I would love to be able to do that. Oh well, big congrats on the potty training. As much as we love them there comes a time when, well, yeech!
Hugs to everyone
