Happy Birthday Lilah!

She is two.  Our little spunky, brown-haired child is two.  The more I get to know Lilah, the more I love this girl.  She has the funniest little personality.  She loves to sing along to my songs in the car, and when she talks to you, she has one volume level.  Loud.  I am constantly saying, "Lilah, please do not yell at Mom.".  She has a tender heart and is afraid of things that you wouldn't expect.  The car wash....birthday candles.....

I was so happy to spend this special day with you Lilah.  We all love you so much.

 She's straight out of bed, and ready to eat.  Bring on the yogurt candle!!

Yep...she was terrified.  Good thing your big-sister, Morgan, stepped in and helped you not feel so afraid.  Thank you Morgan.  You are such a great big-sister.

I'm two!

Playing a little puppet-show...showing off for Grandma.

We just love Grandma at our house.  She's the best.

She's grown!

 

And don't mind the greasy hair.  Lilah decided to get into the A&D ointment right before dinner.  It was pretty slathered in there.

Don't you love that face?  She wasn't happy to see some more candles.

Dad made it home from work JUST in time to sing happy birthday.  He even blew out your candle for you, Lilah.  You have one amazing Dad.

Lilah wasn't too thrilled with her chocolate cupcakes...but that's okay because Dad saved the day with a sucker that he had bought that day just for Lilah.  That thing was huge....and it ended up being Lilah's very favorite thing.

Opening presents...

She loves these puzzles.  I thought they were so cute.

Let me talk a minute about Grace.  She is the most thoughtful person.  She had this birthday present for Lilah all ready about a month before her actual birthday.  She kept it in her room and saved it just for this special day.  It was Lilah's very favorite present.  Grace was so excited to give it to her and it was cute to watch those two playing with the small toys inside.  Lilah stuck those stickers all over her face, and I'm pretty sure we were finding them around the house for about a month after.

Happy Birthday Lilah.  We could never imagine our family without you.  We love you so much!
