Making the most of a birthday

Aunt Melissa came over to celebrate Lilia's birthday with us on Saturday. She brought a scavenger hunt with her. The kids had a blast finding their prizes all over the yard. Later we had cake, ice cream and presents. Sunday we didn't do much but make a big deal, "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!"
Today we're having a play group/birthday party for Lilia at a fun pizza place. More cupcakes! Why not celebrate your birthday 3 times if you can?

2, 3, 4...

I have a 2 year old, a 3 year old, and a 4 year old. I'm just hoping no one asks me my kids ages in the next 2 months.
Lilia's birthday was yesterday. She is the sweetest baby girl, although she's not a baby anymore. :( I am having such a hard time accepting that she is 2, it might because she's so tiny, or it might be that I'm used to having a newborn by the time my kids reach this age, I'm not sure. She brings so much happiness to our home. Colby and Eva love to give Lilia hugs. Lilia is so sympathetic, she hates for anyone to be sad. She is such a momma, loving baby dolls. I still say that she is my blessing for having three babies so close together. I hope the good behavior keeps up forever. (Although, yesterday at church she was showing some serious attitude. I'm crossing my fingers some "terrible twos" switch wasn't flipped on her birthday.) Lilia is so special. She is able to make life happier for anyone around her.
I love you Lilia, happy birthday baby girl!
