Happy Birthday, Lilah!

Lilah is 6 years old now!!  Can you believe it?!  She is growing up so fast!

Lilah got to celebrate her birthday early this year (and later...AND on the special day) because Daddy was out of town on business.  He was all the way in California!  Don't worry, we got to FaceTime (video chat) with him EVERY day!  We also got to send him little video clips telling him that we love him and miss him. 

So, Lilah opened her gifts from Mommy, Daddy & Wyatt, Nana & Grandpa, and Aunt Jeanette & Jason & Brian.    Lilah is now a ROCK STAR!  Just ask her. 

ON Lilah's birthday, a friend watched Wyatt so I could go have lunch with her at school.  I took in cupcakes for her to share with her classmates and teachers.  (I 'stole' a few from the batch of 30 to have at home and share with others.)  They are SOOOOO good!  

The weekend after Daddy returned home from California we celebrated Lilah's birthday at a bowling alley with friends and family.  MANY of her classmates came and it appeared that they all had a great time.

Standing by her gifts and getting ready to tear into them. 

Rock star girl!  This is a FLAT guitar that really acts like a guitar.  There are songs on it that she can strum along with or just play on her own.

Clothes from Nana and Grandpa!  She is so stylish now!

An amplifier for the guitar!  "It makes the guitar SO MUCH louder!"

Her initials for her bedroom door!  BLB!

Wyatt watching over his sister - jumping in when he can!

Oh, the excitement!

Hair accessories!  SO EXCITING!  Lilah LOVES hair thingies!

OH BOY!  Headbands!  She still has to master how to put on AND wear these the correct way.

Cake time.  This is the cake Lilah made.

Make a wish!

It is plugged into the house stereo - even louder than the amp!

ROCK STAR!

Morgan & Lilah

Michelle (Caroline's Mom) and I got to chit chat while the kids played. 

 Michelle played a game and kicked butt!  

I had an adult lane for the parents/grandparents to play on.  The kids couldn't be the only ones to have fun!

Daddy & Wyatt.  I got a break from holding the lil' guy.  Wyatt was passed around while the adults took their turn to bowl.

Cousin Vincent is a jungle gym at times...Morgan held on to his foot while he walked around with her attached.

Then a lot of the kids used him as a jungle gym.

Happy Birthday sweet baby girl!  We love you!
