Lilly Grace you are 3!!

Where has the time gone?  Weren't you just a tiny little baby I held in my arms?  I certainly miss those days, but you have become such a joy for me and every day I thank my lucky stars that God gave you to me.  We went down to Houston last weekend for a friends wedding, and ended up throwing Lilly a little princess party!  She had so much fun with her favorite aunts and her cousin's!

I wore pink in honor of my princess!!  

Precious cousins!  All princesses of course, and sweet little CoCo!

Fancy Nancy doll from Pixi, among other things....

The amazing paintings my mom made for the twins.  MacKenzie is obsessed with owls and Macayla is obsessed with pigs, so cute. 

So stylish! Nick and NoNo gave her this precious dress that she has been wearing non-stop.  Even to school one day....I have to pick my battles, ha!

Fishing pond time!!  The girls loved this, we may have to do it again at Lilly's party here in Dallas.  Thanks Derek and Uncle Joe for helping!

Three candles on her perfect purple princess cupcake!  

"Mommy makes the best cupcakes!"

So we had so much fun celebrating her big day!  I am having a party in November for her with her friends from school and their families, as well as my friends and family.  I can't get her to nail down a theme, so who knows what we are going to end up with!  Lilly, here are some of your three year old stats!

You are very, very tall, and probably weigh around 33-35 pounds.  You are still holding on to that baby chub that mommy loves soooooo much.  You are very sweet and also very sensitive.  You love giving hugs and kisses and you love grabbing my face and giving eskimo kisses.  You love to eat and some of your favorite foods are yogurt, hot dogs, all fruits, mommy's chicken spaghetti, cookies (of course), peanut butter on raisin bread....the list goes on.  You do not like guacamole and made the funniest face when you tried it!  You are starting to get more into eating meats and trying new things, finally!  You love all things pink, purple, and princess.  You love makeup and mousse in your hair and you love painting your nails with mommy.  You love hats and accessories and all things fancy!  You are obsessed with your kitty Tony and Dottie Sue and you must find them and give the love the second you walk in the door.  You love school!  What a blessing it has been for me to watch you learn every day at school.  You love, LOVE seeing me throughout the day and love showing me all your artwork.  Our fridge is covered in your precious masterpieces!  You love playdough, singing, and dancing.  One of your birthday presents from mommy is dance classes, so I can't wait for that!  We read every single night for 30 min, then you read aloud by yourself and I just love listening to you on the baby monitor.  Your best friends are Ryder, Maggie, Skylar, Aiden, and Emma.  You are not a morning person, at all, and it can be very challenging in the mornings for me since I am not one either.  However, every morning I wake you up to "you are my sunshine" and you smile that sleepy smile.  You love dresses and tutus and pretty things, and you love dressing up in mommy's clothes.  

Most of all, you are the most perfect little angel baby.  Every day is something new and exciting and you make me a happy, complete person.  Whatever our future holds, I know we will be right by each other's side and always best friends.  You already know that mommy would do anything for you and make sure you have everything you need.  You also know just how much I love you.  Happy birthday Lillykins!

Oh I almost forgot....

School party!!!  You loved how mommy came to your class and read to everyone a special book and passed out treats.  I loved it too!
