Lilly turns 5

When talk of a birthday party began months ago, Lilly was emphatic on celebrating with her cousins in Kansas. She stated many times she did not want a Phoenix party. I think the fact Hannah isn't here to celebrate any longer was part of this decision. So, just as Lilly wished, we celebrated in grand style at a local Wichita cupcake store. After all, what little girl doesn't love  making a craft you can eat?
Here's the birthday girl carefully decorating her birthday creation. She was adamant about wearing a birthday crown we found at the local drug store.
 All of the little party goers had a great time creating, decorating and eating!
Claire and Elena aspire to have a show on Food Network. One thing's for sure, tasting comes easily for Elena- note the blue mouth.
 Claire wanted to maximize the amount of frosting on her cupcake...
 Maggie spent most of the party in this fashion... asleep.
But the cousins had fun showing off their final results... Proud Kate
Double proud Emma...
 ... and a super happy birthday girl!
As you can imagine, Rob and I were extremely proud when Lilly asked for "a K-State cake with pink bread." She wanted a strawberry K-State cake; she was thrilled.
She received Princess roller skates from us. Here she is learning to skate on Nana's nice floors while wearing her new Rapunzel night gown.
 Happy birthday darling, Lilly. Here's to many more healthy happy birthdays!
