Our little girl is FOUR!!! Not sure I know where the time went! It seams like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital! Lily is such a sweet girl! She is so full of life and joy! What a blessing she is! Because she is so special, it was only fitting that she have a VERY special day on her birthday!
The day started with breakfast in bed! When I brought her breakfast she was already in her Cinderella dress! (Every day since she got this dress she puts it on before she leaves her bedroom for the morning!)
She was so cute about getting breakfast in bed! She kept saying that it was her first time to have breakfast in her own bed! And that she loved it!
After breakfast, I had arranged for someone to come watch Logan so we could go out and have a girls day! I had the whole day planned and it was all about her! I think I might have been more excited about the day than she was!
We started with getting Lily's nails done. She loves to get her nails done! Everyone in the Salon was so cute about it being her birthday! She truly had the royal treatment!
After her nails were painted, we made a stop at McDonald's for lunch! This is one of her favorite places to eat. We had fun with the mustache during our meal!
After lunch, we went to pick out something for Lily to spend her birthday money on. She picked a tea set. While we were waiting to pay for it, we ran into someone we know. I mentioned we were celebrating Lily's birthday and the lady behind us heard. She then proceeded to tell Lily that on her birthday her grandmother would give her nickels. Since it was Lily's birthday, she gave her dimes because she didn't have nickels! What a sweet old lady! That truly made Lily and my day!
Next up was to get Lily's ears pierced! Lily has asked a couple of times to get her ears pierced. I always said I would do it when it was Lily's idea. I never put it in her mind and so when she came to us wanting her ears pierced we decided it was time. When I told Lily that we would be doing this, she said, "Yeah! Now I don't have to wait until I am a mom!" The past few weeks she has been saying, "Mom, I'm going to get my ears pierced after I am a mom and have 10 kids!" I also told her it would hurt. She said that was okay. She was so brave! She cried just a few seconds. Then she couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror or showing EVERY person we saw! She is so proud of her pierced ears! (the picture above is the last picture of Lily without pierced ears! The one below is the first picture with pierced ears!)
After her ears were pierced, we went to Charming Charlies, my favorite jewelry and accessories store! Lily is always wanting to wear my necklaces. Now she can wear her own! She loved the store just as much as I do! She wanted everything in the store! We will be going back soon I'm sure!
The last surprise for just Lily was a trip to Bliss cupcakes! Lily loves cupcakes! She got to pick out cupcakes for after dinner (saving me from making another cake!) and then one to sample right then! We had such a great time together.
Once TJ got home from work, we went to see Hotel Transylvania. It was a cute movie! The kids had a great time eating popcorn and watching the show. Lily said it was her favorite movie she has seen when it was over. Then it was home to have Lily's requested dinner, Macaroni and Cheese! That was easy enough! After dinner, we Skyped with Grandma and Grandpa Gray so Lily could open their gifts. She also got to open gifts from Daddy and Logan.
Then we got to sing to Happy Birthday to our sweet Lily and have our cupcakes! Lily loved that we got to sing to her a second time!
Logan enjoyed his cupcake as well!
I just love that Lily ends the day the way she begins, in her Cinderella dress!
It was a very special day! Lily enjoyed the Royal treatment as she was spoiled like crazy! We sure do love our four year old!
