Happy Happy Birthday Lily

 We celebrated Lily's birthday with a fun Elmo party.  For about a month when we would talk about Lily's birthday she would shout ELMO with excitement.

 My pretty big girl is 2 years old!

 She loves this Elmo shirt and is always excited to wear it.

 The birthday cake.

 I love this expression on her face, this was when she got to see her Elmo birthday cake for the first time.

 Party decorations,  I was so excited to find these Elmo juice boxes.

 We had her favorite food for dinner... pizza

 Trying to sneak a picture of big brother.

 Cousin Ava came to help celebrate.

 Uncle Dave is always fun to hang out with.

Lily is usually quite a little ham and doesn't mind being loud to be the center of attention.  It was cute at her party she got a little shy and timid.  

 A little overwhelmed with all of the attention.

 Opening her presents,  Andrew did so well, he watched Lily open all of her gifts.  Lily is a pro at opening presents she had no problem ripping the paper off.

About to sing happy birthday

 She loved her cake, then she got a phone call from Elmo.  Uncle Dave has a friend that does a awesome Elmo voice, he called and sung happy birthday to Lily.  She really enjoyed the phone call.

 My little chef ready to start cooking.

 Lily got a kitchen from us as her main present.  It was a hit.

 Her specialities are fries and cheese pizza.  Here 2 favorite foods!

 Lily loves to accessorize with necklaces, bracelets and purses.

Lily is such a delight.  She is moving into 24 month clothes wears a size 5 shoe.  She loves to help me around the house.  Here favorite word is "no" she always wants to do exactly what Andrew is doing.  She naps for about 2 hours a day.  She is saying more 2-3 words sentences everyday.  She loves to say "Daddy's truck" when we pull into the drive way.  She can now climb into the van and into her carseat by herself.  She loves apples and yogurt.  We love Lily so much she is a girly girl who likes to play trains in the dirt with her brother!
