Lily's second celebration started with spending lots of quality time with her Aunt Trina and Aunt Ruella. They came over to spend the evening playing with Lily. Lily loved showing them how to have a tea party. She loves filling up the cups with "tea, sugar, and cream".
Lily's Nana and Poppa gave her this balloon which Lily adores. She likes to kiss her feet and laugh!
After dinner, Lily got to open up her presents from Trina and Ruella. They stuck with the Abby theme. They got her some Abby books, an Abby shirt, and a set of Abby K'nex building blocks.
They also got her these adorable Abby New Balance shoes. Lily loves her new shoes, and she loved everything else. She said, "Abby" over and over again with a huge smile when she opened each gift. It took a long time to open these presents because she had to stop and play with each one. She also had to read each book and point out Abby on every page.
Here Lily opening up her second present. She loved the purple paper and the pretty bows!
After bathtime with Ruella and Trina, Lily wanted more playtime before time for them to leave. So, they headed back downstairs to the playroom. She enjoyed spending time with them.
Lily had the best time at her party on Saturday night!
She had a big grin on her face all evening long!
Earlier that day, we went to Manda's graduation from college. (Manda is Jamie's sister.)
For those of you who don't know- Lily hates dresses. So, we endured 30 minutes of crying and complaining while we were getting ready.
However, the fact that we were matching finally won her over. Plus, I showed her how you can twirl in a dress. She got over her contempt of dresses after the initial shock of us making her wear one.
We love wearing our matching clothes from Hanna Andersson. When Lily was still a little teary eyed in the car on our way to graduation, she said, "Mama- I jouve you." I said, "Lily, I love you, too." Then, she said, "We match." That just made me smile. The tears quickly faded and all was well. Then, she wanted to wear a dress to church today, too. She didn't even want to take it off when we got home. What have we started....
