Lily's 4th Birthday Party!!

THE CAKE...


I made this cake for Lily...she requested a rainbow cake with pink frosting and we put princess candles on it.


THE GUESTS....


Lots of fun with Auntie Heidi and Lara...they came for the weekend!




Lily with her grandmas (mimi and amma)...and, of course, Lara :)



THE FUN STUFF....


A princess tea party with the Princesses...and Prince Adam. We also did a princess treasure hunt, played pass the parcel and played hide the comb.



THE PRESENTS....

A 'swivel hoop' as Lily calls it from Mimi and Doc...She wanted this soooo bad and is getting really good at it!...she keeps practicing (and so does Joey :))


A Belle dress from Amma and Bumpa...she put it on right away and has worn it ever since! Now she has Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbelle and Belle dresses to dress up in!



All the aunts and Uncles got Lily this shirt and a very beautiful Tinkerbell book...Lily and Lara as twins!!


This picture was taken a few weeks earlier, but I wanted to put it in with her other present pictures...Bumpa couldn't wait until her b-day to give her his present! He got her a left-handed baseball glove and a pink ball, which she absolutely loves... Joey, of course, loves it, too, but whenever he throws the ball I duck and cover. Adam and Lily play catch a lot and she's getting really good.


'WHERE'S JOEY?' YOU ASK....


He's back!!...Here's Joey!....Joey was unable to attend the birthday party as it was his naptime. We were able to play all the games and open presents without him getting into everything!!...doesn't he look sad that he missed everything?

Lily is gorgeous! I just threw a princess party for my little Brinly. If only we lived close. I just know they would get along perfectly.

I love the picture of you and lily together. Way to go on the cake....TALENT! It is so fun to see your mom and Heidi in on the adventures as well. I also, just have to laugh that Heidi still has a love of the word FREAK! (hee hee)

Happy Birthday Lily, from your other Aunt Heidi who you don't know, but who thinks you are beautiful!

Hey Greta, I hope you don't mind me making a comment on your blog. Heidi has you on hers and I thought I would drop a line and tell you how cute I think your blog name is! Really its awesome!

Also I thought it was funny that Lilly wanted a rainbow cake. That is what Ellie wanted last year too, and I made it a lot harder for myself. What cute pictures. Hope all is well...

It's been a while since I've written...sorry for the blog slacking (is that the technical term??)  I've been wanting to write for a while, but I've had severe case of blog-writers-block!  I'm just going to try and push through it though, thanks to all my supporters out there who have encouraged me (you know who you are!! :) ) Lily is so excited to wear all her new clothes she got from Auntie Heidi...Heidi picked up some amazing deals at the Children's Place outlet in WI Dells and Lily got about 5 new dresses and she changes outfits about 5 times a day so she can wear everything!  This is a picture of her modeling one of her dresses and showing off her artwork. You can see she really loves the dress... Speaking of artwork, while Lily was painting she said "I am an artist just like Auntie Chrissy!"  Watchout Chrissy, there might be some competition coming! :) Anyway, I will try and do better with updating...I promise!  Check back often!!

Another dress for Lily

I had a stack of pillow cases given to me today, so I couldn't resist trying to make Lily another dress...Lily can't have anything without fairies or princesses so this dress has fairy ribbon sewn at the bottom and tied around the waist (and yes, we are in Wisconsin where it is snowing out today, but Lily somehow is never cold!). To anyone out there who might be under the wrong impression that I am a good sewer, I will tell you again I am not... This will prove it... While I was sewing today on the sewing machine I actually sewed the needle right through my entire tip of my pointer finger!! ouch!!! Would a real sewer do something like that?? :) Luckily Lily was right there to get me a princess band-aid!

Is it me???

Although I have 5 kids under my roof today, somehow I am blogging?!?... I wanted to quick tell about our adventures and post some pictures today just in case Heidi happened to check!  Let me start with this...anyone who knows me knows one main fact about me and my kids...we have MAJOR sleep issues in this house!!!.. I have always looked at the Justus kids and known they are perfect sleepers...Heidi and Eric can take them anywhere and they sleep.  They go to bed somewhere between 7:00-8:00, and it seems for the most part sleep all night.  I have witnessed this anomaly on numerous occassions.  However,...my children do not.  I've always thought it was something in the genes, however after last night I realized kids who are around me don't go to sleep!!!  I started the 'going to bed' process at 7:00....I herded all 5 kids upstairs to get ready for bed (Joey was very resistant because he had just woken up 1/2 hour earlier from a nap!!...) Got the 2 boys down, 1...
