~Happy 9th birthday Lily!!~

My little girl is 9!  She is the best girl ever!  She is so responsible, caring, and fun!  I am so glad I get to be her mommy.  On her birthday morning, she got to pick one gift to open.

She got the Osmo Pizza game for the iPad.  

November 16th and she is wearing shorts to school.  Say what?!?  What a cutie!  

I left work a little early so we could go play on this nice day.  I got the boys and Lily and went to Kid's Kingdom.   With the time change it got dark early, so we only played for a little while.

After the park we went to the mall and got the rest of Lily's Osmo gift.  I didn't realize it needed another part.  Geez.  ha ha

Then we met Daddy at Lily's favorite restaurant: Red Lobster!

Beckett found Hud's hair. ha ha

They sang to Lily and she got to enjoy a brownie and ice-cream.

We then went home for more gifts!

Doniphan color socks!

Duffel bag.  :)

Playing the Pizza game

and the word game.

She had a wonderful day.  We then celebrated her birthday again on Saturday at the Husker tail gate.  We went up Friday evening and did our tradition of wings!

I became a "snap chatter"  Fun pictures.  ha ha!

A little tired for wings

The first cold weekend of the year.  The camper was nice and toasty!

In the morning Uncle Scott came with Syd and Caden.  Grandpa and Grandma came shortly after.  We brought an outside heater and Lily requested Chili for her meal.  :)

Plyaing Osmo words

What a good baby....going down for a nap all by himself.

Drinking my HUGE Bloody Mary and taking a pic with the stadium in the back.  Do you see it?

The jets flew by before the game.

Hud and Caden playing even when it's cold.

Beckett staying in where it's warm.

Grandma and Grandpa Elsbury came too!

Lily loved having all the family there.

Widdowson and Elsbury cousins.

Just missing Maverick, Delanie, and Beckett

All smiles.

We're so cool!  ha ha!  We had a great Football season.  :)

Present time!

Crowded, but fun!

Lily chose Strawberry Shortcakes for her birthday dessert!

I got her the trick candles, but they didn't work great.  

Everyone was having fun.

Grandma hid 9 $5 for Lily to find.

What a great birthday weekend!  I am so glad most everyone was able to make it.  Lily loved celebrating in the camper for the game.  :)
