Party Time!

Lily Kate kept the birthday celebration going on all weekend long!  We had two wonderful birthday parties, and we were so blessed by the outpouring of love from our family and friends!  Lily Kate is one very loved little girl, and it was amazing to have everyone there to celebrate our sweet baby!  It was so much fun to watch Lily Kate this year because she really enjoyed herself at her parties!  She loved playing with some of her little friends that came, and she had a ball opening presents!  I have never seen a child get so excited over each and every present that she opened, and I was amazed that she made it through opening all of them without getting sidetracked!  Of course, she wanted to stop and play with each present after she opened it! Mommy will have to figure out how to ration all of the gifts so she doesn't get toy overload!  Cameron and I both commented after her birthday weekend at how amazed we were by how many people truly love our little girl... what a blessing as a parent to see how God has brought people into our lives that will love and encourage Lily Kate as she grows!  We are so thankful!

Yes, that is a #1 candle even though she is two!  Mommy forgot to buy a candle for the cake!

That's my girl!

Good thing she had on elastic waist pants!  Look at that belly!
