~Lily's 8th Birthday!~

Lily had a few celebrations for her birthday!  Lucky girl. :)

First we were at Matt's parents' house because his Uncle Dwaine had passed away.  He had a ranching accident.  :(

Opening gifts from Gma and Gpa and her Aunts.

Talking Tom from Grandpa.

Below are pics from the meal after the burial.

Aunt Chantele was able to come home.  I think these kids missed her.

We had planned to do Lily's party on Friday, but moved it to Saturday instead.  It worked out just fine.  I got the girls, we ate pizza, then came home and played.

Emma, Aysha, Lily, and Charlee

Cute girls!

I had a few Minute to Win It games planned for them.  It was fun to watch them.

Woo Hoo!

Gift time!

Lily and Emma try to plan their outfits.  This outfit is similar to one of Emma's.  Girls...starting already!

I can't believe she is 8!

Hud has to be in it!

They played then watched a movie.  This is how I found them before I went to bed.

Lily had gotten a fun art gift.  So they all designed something.

Playing before they went home.

The girls didn't mind little brother around.

Dance Party!

On Sunday we went to Gma and Gpas to hunt a little.

We ate at Sportsman's first with them and Mav.

Grandma hid 8 5 dollar bills around the living room for Lily to find.  :)

Candles in the donuts!

Monday morning was Lily's actual birthday.  She got to pick out one gift before school.  She got a Keep bracelet.  :)

Our 8 year old!

I love you so much Lily.  You are the sweetest girl and we are blessed that God made us your parents.  I am excited to see how your life unfolds.

and little bro

After school she opened the rest of her presents.

We then went to tour a house we were interested in.  It was up for auction.  It ended up being about twice as much as what we had budgeted.  Lily was a trooper for her birthday and made it through the tour.  :)

She had her eyes set on Red Lobster for supper!  Her favorite!

What a great few days to celebrate Lily Jo!!!

Here are the annual questions.  Quite a few of her answers stayed the same. :)
