A Belated Birthday Post for Lily: 5 Years Old!

  Well, Lily's birthday has come and gone, and she's three weeks into being 5:) We were in the midst of so many things the week of her birthday, including getting ready to move, that I never carved out the time to sit down and do a birthday post like I usually do for each of my girls. We are almost settled and I finally got my office semi-done, and I'm sitting at a real desk typing this out! Hooray! (I've wanted an office space for SO long!)   Lily, what a resilient child you are! In the past year of your life, you've lived in three houses, not including staying with Gran and Granky for two months and Aunt Danna for two weeks. You've traveled countless hours in the van tucked up close to your big sis and stayed in at least 8 hotels with all five of us. You've said goodbye to friends and worked quickly to make new ones at a brand new church, and then returned home to your old friends with enthusiasm. In all the craziness in the past year of your life, you remained the same day in and day out: sweet and silly. You are always a helper, jumping at the chance to help me (or anyone else for that matter) with whatever needs done, you delight in seeing others happy. Just last night, Izzie was screaming over something or other, and you dashed to get your special blanket and several animals and tucked them all around her. Never, ever let anything harden your sweet heart!   Here are your current favorites:   Food: Pizza Dessert: Brownies Color: purple, pink, white and blue Season: Fall Holiday: Christmas Movie: Beauty and the Beast Book: Wise Words for Little People Place: Hotels! Bible Story: David and Goliath Thing to do: Build sand castles at the beach Favorite number: 7 Favorite Letter: S (she came up with those last two questions and insisted they be included;) ) 

 

Happy belated 5th birthday! I hope and pray 5 is a wonderfully fun year for you! xoxoxo
