Lil Turns 5

My little Lil turned 5 yesterday. It's hard to believe she is going to be starting school this year. One thing I love about Lil is she always has a sparkle in her eye's. She loves life. She was so excited for her birthday. We made her wait until after swim lessons to open her presents. However, as you can see from the pictures as soon as they walked in the doors the presents were being opened. She got a lot of little things this year but seems to like all of them.

Here she is with everything: a new camp chair, skirt, shirt, flip-flops, a bug catcher, play dough, airheads, a straightener/curler, bubble wand, and yes a toothbrush holder that is pink. It was on the list of things she wanted. She is holding her favorite gifts which are a baby ladybug pillow pet, and a Cinderella toy. 

Later that night we went into town to watch the fireworks. This was Lil's favorite part of the day. She loves that she gets fireworks on her birthday. Playing in the sand is always a fun way to pass the time waiting for it to get dark.

Bubbles. Who doesn't love bubbles?

We also ate Lil's b-day cake. She wanted pink and purple frosting with polka-dots. I did my best. It still tasted yummy.

It was fun watching the moon raise as the fireworks went off. We had a great time with family. Happy Birthday Lil Bug. We love you tons!
