I can hardly stand how stinkin' adorable she is. She was glowing and smiling from ear-to-ear all afternoon as we celebrated her birthday with family and friends.
She had a princess-themed party and all her friends came dressed up as princes and princesses as well.
Here she is looking at a card she got in the mail while waiting for her family and friends to arrive. She looks so thrilled that I am taking picture of her. :)
Finally, her party has begun! Here is the princess, being goofy (per usual), with her Grandma Lovey and cousin Natalie.
All the kids made crowns. Here is Liliana's cousin, Kaylee, and her Auntie Sarah working on creating a very beautiful crown.
Our neighbors also came over for the fun. Here are 6 of their 7 children with their Mommy (and the greatest friend in the world).
Liliana got lots of great gifts from her friends and family. She has been playing with her new toys non-stop... that is when Michael hasn't snuck one away for a little of his own fun. :)
I love all the kids surrounding Liliana, watching her open her gifts. So cute!
Liliana got lots of new princess dress up clothes. Some of the dress up clothes are so cute I was wondering if they could pass for regular clothes...
Mommy, Daddy, and the birthday girl with her princess cake.
All of her friends singing "Happy Birthday" to Liliana. She also sang along. :)
"Liliana, say 'Cheese!'"
Blowing out her candles.
Sunday we had a little family celebration for Liliana. Here she is opening her gifts from us. She was very excited that she got to open more presents.
Liliana loves looking at pictures so we got her a photo album filled with some of her favorite pictures.
Here she is pointing out a picture of her Papa Hawks.
Michael and Liliana looking at pictures together. He told me that he wants an album "just like Liliana's" for his birthday, but he wants an album with "only pictures of Santa." Ha ha ha ha.
"Ooooh. This is a big one!"
She loved her magnadoodle. She loves to color!
We got her a giant book of nursery rhymes. Michael looks much more excited about it than Liliana.
We ended the night with a trip to Culvers (her choice) for her birthday dinner. She had a great party on Saturday with all her friends and family and lots of fun with our family on Sunday. We are so grateful to everyone who came and blessed Liliana on her birthday. I am so excited to watch her grow and learn over the next year!
Happy Birthday, sweet Liliana. I love you more than pickles.
XOXOXO, Mommy
