Happy Birthday Lillian!

Party time!

Although tomorrow is the big day, Lillian's party was today! Lillian and 13 of her friends, along with their parents and our family, celebrated at Imaginations ar Play in Buford. It was tons of fun and very "easy" because we are MOVING in a week! That's another posting for another day. Here's a look at our morning!

I love this one. It doesn't look like much, but I love how she always tried to carry way too much.

The "big" girls.

K and B

Peek-a-boo!

Oh my goodness. This look kills me!

FINALLY!!! Cupcake time!

Thanks to all of our friends for celebrating with us today!

The Countdown continues...

3 days to go. If you could she what Lillian is doing at this moment, you would be chuckling for sure. I'm not sure if I should tell...it may embarass her. It involves a scarf, a plastic blue shovel and no clothes.

We will continue our countdown to 2 with pictures of Lillian with her favorite person in the whole world. Her sister.

Hannah loved nothing more than being able to "hold" Lillian.

Who can forget the Valentine's Day Picture attempt...

Disney on Ice

She looks up to her sister so much.

Count Down to "2"!

4 Days until Lillian turns 2! I'll be posting some favorite photos and some thoughts and memories about our Lillian.


So, what is Lillian up to these days?

Lillian is pretty much potty trained! She has gone out in public with big girl underwear successfully since Sunday. I'm sure we'll have some accidents soon enough, but for now, she's doing great. On a funny note, whenever she needs to go, she pulls her pants down...ALL the way down and walks to the bathroom with her pants around her ankles, or completely off. The girls met their babysitter last night and within 5 minutes, Lillian had taken her pjs completely off and walked to the bathroom naked and slammed the door closed. I guess she needed some privacy. She keeps up laughing. ALL day. She's talking like crazy and surprising us daily with all of the things she knows.

Example:
Papa: You're going to have a birthday soon!
Lillian: Not yet.
Papa: Soon you'll be in school like Hannah.
Lillian: Not school. Kindergarten.

??????????????????????????

Crazy;)

I'll leave you with one of my all time favorite pictures taken at 6 weeks.

Little Elf

Hannah's Ballet/Tap Recital was Sunday night and she was as cute as could be! I took her to get her hair done...I know, sounds a little crazy, but it was only $10 and she felt so special getting it done. Plus, have you seen how much hair she has???? It took a professional 30 minutes to get it in a bun!
Her class did a cute tapping elf routine. Here are some of my faves from the night!

Love the expression!

The world's largest bun.

She was so proud and was thrilled that her family came to see her!

Big girl!

Proud of her flowers.

Best Friends!

Quote of the day from Hannah

"Mommy, I was thinking last night that school should be a A/B pattern. School. No school. School. No school."

They're Growing Up so Fast!

They're already members of The Red Hat Club!!!

American Girl Doll?

I took this pic of Hannah the other day. Never planned on posting it because she looked less than thrilled that I took it. I showed it to her though and she said, "I look like an American Girl Doll!".

:)

S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G

Sitting in the backyard with the family...
Me to Ryan: I need to go to the s-t-o-r-e before you leave for the airport.
Ryan: OK. Which o-n-e?
Me: T-a-r
Hannah: Can H-a-n go?

Oh my goodness. We laughed so hard!

Little Miss Dress Up

Lillian LOVES to dress up! Well, she loves so dress HERSELF up! Here are some of her creations.

She picked this out all by herself:)

And then recreated it the next day.

Those are Hannah's pj pants, btw:)

I must admit, I like dressing her up too!

Hannah Ballerina

Last week, Lillian and I attended Hannah's "Parents Day" at her ballet school. We were able to watch the whole class...the WHOLE hour and a half. Normally that would have been wonderful, but Lillian made it a little, um, difficult. Anwhooey, here's some cute shots from the class.

This was during a little "sleeping ballerina" song.

I know this is a little fuzzy, but still cute.

So funny watching a class of 5 year olds. Not exactly a graceful bunch:)
