this morning

me "what day is it?"
lily "my birthday eve!"
today my baby is five.
tomorrow she is six.

catching up on her first years. i'll get there. it's getting a bit harder since i was blogging at this point. she was three.

best birthday present. she would ask me to write names and other words. within a couple weeks she was writing them on her own, drawing stick people and jellyfish

dressing for the first day of preschool
photo shoot...she was soooooo difficult to shoot at this age

bedtime...always falling asleep with a book, but the matching dress melts my heart

just can't get enough of these

seriously...who falls asleep with their hand in the popcorn bowl

your almost one now little sister...time to dress up

that's my girl...the jealous year, pouting on ava's birthday

she has to be one of the only three year olds put in time out at dance :) obviously not ready

climb in here sis

omg...eye contact!

just call us the underpants family

she loves the rose fields out here

my mornings...this was the next catalog she carried around for months...picking out toys

collecting her ornaments....always with a collection

she was an adorable candle..before she ate it

she had the chicken pox on christmas

her lashes were the first thing the dr. noticed after she was born

she loves to be silly because she loves to make you laugh

she wanted to wear my wedding shoes for months...so i gave them to her

just noticed the peace sign here

that's my girl...first fishing trip

the princess turns four
