Happy Birthday Lilly!

Lilly's big day finally came. She had her third birthday party at our house on a rainy Saturday. It was last minute so we did not have a ton of people. Our neighbors, Paul & Heather, Anna & Scout, and Trevor came in the morning. We put up her princess castle and played hot potato. It went really well. THe kids got to decorate their own cupcakes and they seemed to like that. Later that day, Joe, Jessica and the girls showed up and we almost had another entire party. It's the first birthday where Lilly really understood that it was her day. She is going to love her birthdays just like her mommy always did!

Spencer, we enjoyed seeing you so much at the grandparents house. This is the picture we took of you and Lilly!

Disneyland!!

Steve and I took Lilly to Disneyland before her third birthday (which will be on February 22). The three of us had so much fun! First we met Lilly's favorite character, Tinkerbell. She showed us the cute house she made all by herself.

Next, we took her on the Matterhorn (not sure on spelling). Of course, she was terrified by the speed and the snow monster. I could hear her screaming behind me. We had to redeem her trust in us by taking her to "It's a small world" next. We also rode storybook boat, Dumbo, the tea cups, autotopia, Snow White, the train, and the Innovention show. That's all I can remember now.

We really liked the Innovention show. It started out silly. But, eventually you end up in a house from the future that has this cool child's room. When you read a story in it, the room comes to life.
