Princess tea party!

Today you had a beautiful tea party in the park to celebrate your 4th birthday.  All your friends from dance came and dressed up in princess dresses and we had lemonade, heart sandwiches, fruit wands and of course cupcakes.  

We also made wands and had a tattoo station (your name!)!  You planned everything you wanted to do including the idea of having everyone dress up. 

Gigi was there and you loved that and kept telling me how she would be there too!  

I loved watching you have fun.  You of course love openif your presents.  I think my favorite part was seeing you and our friends come out of the field with a giant giant stick to beat the piñata open.  Y'all would up getting a small one and after organizing yourselfs, taking turns, and even some girls closing their eyes while swinging.  Everyone made sure they were safe.  It was so cute to see all the princesses drag that giant stick and beat that piñata. 

I love you so so much Lila.  I never knew I would have a princess for a daughter but I am so lucky to have you.  

Laughter

Eli is really starting to want to do everything you do.  Tonight he was being your copy cat at dinner.  You were shaking your head being silly and singing.  He would giggle and laugh and then attempt to do the same thing... Shaking his head and sing.  You guys were planing and playing in the bath laughingn and being silly.  He taught you how to put your face in the water and you showed him how to drink bath water! (Lila! Haha) but after you for out and wee brushing tie teeth... You had Eli laughing so hard as your spit out the water. He thought it was so funny,  and I thought it was pretty funny too.  Those are the movements I want forever. I love you silly goose. 

Christmas Day 2014

We had a wonderful Christmas Day!  Santa brought you elsa and Anna dolls and a mop of course! When you saw your stocking this morning you said "oh golly gee gosh!" 

You are candy from your stocking and helped Eli open his presents.  You were excited and thankful for all your gifts!   A flower press (already pressing a flower) board games (2 of 3 already played once!) books, stickers, tape and paper (yep you love to craft and create!!) clay, and a sweatshirt too.  Tickets to the zoo and dino land and in sure more.. Bionocukars, magnifying glass.  

Sadly daddy had to go to work but we opened gifts with him before breakfast... We had a bacon and pancake breakfast and candy for dessert! :) 

Then we roasted a whole chicken and ands sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce.  We even had homemade rolls leftover from momals Christmas Eve lunch.  Sadly you were not that info the "Christmas feast" as you called it.  We played outside and plaed inside and played some more.  I made you a chickpea quick stew for dinner and you were happily calling that your feast as your added yogurt to it!  

You are a wonderful silly and caring little girl.  I love playing with you on Christmas Day and every day.  I love you Lila. 

Halloween 2014

Pictures!

Dance performance

You had your first dance preformance.  You were so so so cute.  It was so wonderful watching you have fun with all your friends from dance class.  

It was pretty funny because during practice the parents sit behind, so naturally for the preformance all the girls thought the parents were still behind them :)

After the practice run (where the audience just saw the dancers backs mostly) I had a chance to explain to you where to look (for me on the audience) so for the preformance you along with most of the girls faced the right way!   So cute!  You do enjoy dance and it was been nice watching the friendships develop.   I love you my ballerina star!!! 

3.5

Lila!!! You are 3 and a half!!! You are a little girl.  It's hard to look back and see how quickly the time has passed.  I love everyday with you.  You are my reason to want to be better, a better person for myself, for you and the world.   I look at you and see innocence and curiosity.  You have a sweet heart and soul.  You hug me and love me in a way that I never want to stop.  In fact time passes so quickly I sometimes get so sad when we are having the best moments because I want them to last forever.  You often tell me you will love me forever.  My heart bursts into a million peices.  You are so specials nd I am lucky to have you in my life.
