Happy 3rd Birthday to our Lilia Sue!
She received so many wonderful gifts, mostly princess, girly pink things. She had a great birthday celebrated over a few days. She can show you she's 3 but forgets to say it. She says now she's a big girl and today she asked to go to Primary instead of nursery. She's an amazing helper and loves to be a big sister to Max. She's smart, funny, and such a social butterfly!
She weighs 31 lbs.

On Saturday we celebrated with a Princess Party. She had 5 little friends come and they decorate crowns, blew bubbles, played keep up with balloons, tossed bean bags, played toys and colored pictures. It was lots of fun!

Princesses Elsa, Lexi, Hailey, Lilia, Nina and Jadyn
While we were singing Happy Birthday at the party instead of saying her own name or saying "me", she inserting "stinky little kids" (something my dad often calls the grandkids while playing). It was so funny!
She loved her crown and her gifts!
She loved wearing her pretty pink outfit from Grammy and Pop!
I made the princess cake. using a barbie and covering the legs with plastic wrap and a tube of poster board. Then built a base out of cereal treats and covering it in pink marshmallow fondant.
It was fun to do but I didn't have the time to get all the flour off her skirt.
Lilia was upset and wanted her doll out of the cake. We had to assure her she would get it back right after we sang Happy Birthday and no one would eat her dolly. Then I asked her if the skirt looked pretty and she said "no it looks silly. no one likes silly cakes." She's a character! That was actually an improvement over her screaming "GET MY DOLLY OUT OF THERE!" By the time the party rolled around she didn't mind so much.
Happy Birthday Pretty Princess! We love and adore you! You make us smile and bring us joy each day. You learned a lot while you were 2 and will become even more amazing at 3!
The park provided a great place for the kids of all ages to play and have fun. meaning I didn't have to provide amusement.
I brought bags and stickers. The kids decorated their goody bags and then I filled them.
We visited the ducks and turtles.
We made great friendships!
We had fun!
All the adults chatted and ate while most of the kids played
Our Caterpillar out of balloons. the wind didn't always keep it looking cool but that's ok.

Max fell asleep the instant we got in the car. It was killing Lily that he hadn't opened his gifts yet. So the moment he woke up she wanted to. I made her wait until he was ready. This is one of his many awesome gifts!
