Lily turns 5 today, and I could not be more proud of her. She is equal parts thinker and feeler - so smart and so kind, and she loves her Jesus.
Last Saturday we had a surprise birthday party for her. She had requested a Halloween themed party, because she is anything but ordinary. This is my child who will spend an hour discussing Ebola with me and looking up microscopic pictures of it online.
I did everything I could to make it what she wanted, but I had to deny one request. She has never watched X-Files, but Clay and I binge watch it on Netflix after she goes to bed, and she will run out when she hears the theme song and claim it's her favorite song and request that we play it at her party. I don't think anyone would have appreciated the X-Files theme song on constant loop for hours, so we had to do without.
I greeted everyone and hid them, while her daddy walked her over.
She had a lot of wonderful friends who showed up to surprise her.
All the kids came in dress up and we had a scavenger hunt to look for candy.
Clay grilled while the kids swam, then we had dirt worm cupcakes and Lily opened presents.
She has been counting down every day for the last month until the day she gets to turn 5. She was so excited this morning.
We love her so much and can't wait to see what this next year holds for her.
