Birthdays, Teeth, and Smiles

It's been two months to the day!

Today I'm thankful for:

1. Three rounds of birthday celebrations.  Lillian has been basking in birthday fun.  While on vacation last week with my family we had mini cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday in a large ski resort lodge while the wild bears ran through the backyard.  Yesterday was Lilly's actual birthday, so we went to the Salisbury Zoo with some new friends, then had chocolate cupcakes together.  Tonight we partied with Bobby's side of the family and had fun with loads of cousins, aunts, and uncles.  We're all cup-caked out, but we are so happy to have Lillian in our family and to celebrate her 6th birthday with her!!

2. Liam's cheese face.



3. Sydney's smile.  It melts my heart every time. 



4. Silly string!!  We had a silly string fight on Lilly's birthday- it was the best 3 bucks I ever spent!



 5. Lillian's first missing tooth!  It's been lose for about 4 months and it finally popped out yesterday- literally!  Bobby was flossing her teeth and she told him that she wanted him to try to pull it out.  When he did, it popped right out and flew across the room!  She was a brave girl and she's still beaming about it.  Now she talks with a little lisp and she sticks her tongue through the little window in her mouth.  So cute!  The tooth fairy was generous to her, since it was her first tooth AND it came out on her birthday. Lillian missed her baby tooth so much in the morning that she bargained with the tooth fairy and got it back to keep. :)
