Lillie's 3rd Birthday

It has been celebration central around our house this week.  That really just comes with the territory of having a holiday birthday, I guess.  It was three short years ago when my water broke at 11 pm on July 3rd just as we were going to sleep after a fun night of ice cream feasting.  Our lives haven't been the same ever since she came into the world and my how we are so very thankful for this this little bundle of firecrackers!

This year Lillie was more aware of what having a birthday means.  She knew that she was only two (picture her giving the peace sign here) and that she was turning "free!" and then it all went downhill from there.  She then moved straight to losing teeth and being a BIG girl from there. 

Here are some highlights from the week.  Maybe (and that's a big maybe) I'll get to post some pics from the past year.  We have somebody else's first birthday to celebrate soon!

We started off the morning right with a big wake up call from Dunc

Birthday presents were first because we all couldn't wait to see her excitement
