Lily's third birthday was a series of many parties, as tends to be the case with our kids lately. She started her actual birthday with a doughnut instead of cake, because her parties were later in the weeks to come. I don't think she minded.
She loved her kitchen!
Thomas was so excited for her to open his gift. We spent an entire hour in the Target toy section looking for the perfect present for his little sister. I think he did well.
Faith surprised her with this ladybug cake at gymnastics. Faith held it on the way to gymnastics, then Lily held it on the way home. It was a little lopsided by the time we got around to tasting it, but it tasting wonderful!
We had her friend party at the park. It was great! Cake of choice: pink cupcakes with pink icing, and flowers made out of marshmallows and pink sprinkles, of course.
Jackson, Thomas, and Luke enjoyed the green space at the park while the younger kids played on the playground. They built "fires", climbed trees, ran, and protected each other from various perceived dangers.
The merry-go-round was quite the hit!
Getting every bit of icing
"Look at me!"
Lily's Augusta party was at the park with doughnuts, just like Thomas had in November. For some reason, my camera wouldn't work, so we don't have any pictures. :( It was a lot of fun, though!Found some pictures from Steve's camera....Thank you!
Lily wanted a baby doll cake, so Debbie made this 3-D Cabbage Patch Kid one!

Her favorite gift? Days of the week underwear!

Chloe is always such a huge help with Lily! She helped her with all her presents, and she took amazing care of her at Trace's party in January!
