The many cakes of Lilly's birthday

While we didn't have the official family party while in Kansas this summer, Lilly still had many opporunities to honor her big day. Lilly celebrated her birthday many times: 1. Dinner at Chuck E Cheese (every parent's favorite) on her actual birthday and 2. Pool party with the Z aunts on July 3.
When we got back to Phoenix, we had the "big" birthday party. This year, many friends came to bounce the afternoon away at Bounce Jungle. Oh what fun! As you can imagine, Lilly was in heaven- favorite friends, bouncing, air conditioning (what else is better in an Arizona summer), cupcakes and presents. This was the first birthday where she actually enjoyed the event and understood (in a childish way) her birthday's importance. So, we were happy to host another birthday party in Lilly's honor. Here's to many more, darling Lilly- we love you! Below are pictures of all three cakes that fueled the excitement of friends at each event.
Cake #1 picked by Lilly from the Dillon's bakery on her birthday morning.
Cake #2: a masterpiece! She picked this one too.
Cake #3: a cupcake cake. Genius!

Needless to say, we are caked out! For my birthday maybe I'll bake a pie!
