Yesterday hunting Easter eggs in the morning 

Today after dinner enjoying ice cream and a pop (Eli) 

Dear Lila,

You make my heart grow bigger every day.  We have just moved into our new house.  It has a big yard and a huge bedroom, we share and it really feels good here.   I know we will make lots and lots of really good memories here.  

You are 4 and you are growing up so fast.  Recently you have been playing with barbies and dolls a lot.  You have elaborate stories and change everyone's clothes and play out entire days for them. You look through books to "check them out" and then we read them.  It's so fun to see what you  play and  how sweetly you treat all of your babies and the wonderful stories you tell through your play.  

Today you were carrying Eli around in the bedyatds.  He kept walking down a path and you you go get him and you carries him back up.  

We also played a couple of games during Eli's afternoon nap.  Pretty pretty princess and memory.  You said this is so fun.  And I agreed a million times.  I live playing with you.  I love you Lila. 

Yesterday at momals house 

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!!!
