Yesterday was Lily’s 3rd birthday. I cannot believe that she is already 3 years old. Where did the time go? John and I went over to their house after work to give her her presents. John decided that we needed to take Annie because Lily loves Annie. Needless to say, she was thrilled.
Elijah and Josiah were just as excited as Lily was. Somehow we got them to finish their dinner before we opened presents. Grandma Betty came in just in time for the gift opening. Lily was so happy and excited with each present that she opened. She would say, “my favorite” to almost each one. It was great. After presents, we had cupcakes. She sat very patiently while we sang to her, and then she blew out the candles. It took her a while and many blows, but she finally got all 3 candles out. I think her brothers had to help her in the end.
All the time we were eating our cupcakes, she kept saying, “It’s still my birthday.” When we left, they were getting ready to watch her new Veggie Tales movie. I hope they went to bed for Grandma Betty. They each had lots of sugar, so they may be up all night!
Thank You Lord for our beautiful granddaughter Lily!
