Day 106: April 15, 2012

Happy birthday to Lizzy!


I really can't believe she's five.


It was a great day - starting with church (and baby Tesslyn's baptism). The doctor that delivered Lizzy was singing in the choir, so after mass I went to say hi and remind her what she was doing on this day five years ago. She and Lizzy had a very nice conversation about how Dr. Perk was the first person to hold her. I'm sure that conversation will spark some conversations later.


This evening, Lizzy and about 30 of her closest friends and family (and by closest I mean distance wise.. you know she loves all of you who live far away too!) celebrated in style. 


Lizzy's choice: pizzas on the grill (she crossed her fingers all day that the rain would stay away.. it worked! Brad was the grill master!), pink and purple cake (purple cake.. actually really pretty and delicious too!), friends and presents.


I have a ton of favorite pictures from today, but I choose this one as my picture of the day:


So many personalities here! 

  • Cooper is so serious, 
  • Grady is smiling because his mom is hiding behind Cooper's chair,
  • Morgan is wondering why Cooper has a nookie and she doesn't, 
  • Big Jake is trying to keep Baby Jake out of the cake pops, 
  • Baby Jake is thinking "yay... cake pops!", 
  • Lexi is just smiling and ignoring it all, 
  • Jorja is happy to have Big Tess to herself, 
  • Tess is happy she's not related to any of these people, 
  • Lizzy is thinking how cool it is to be 5, 
  • Kaitlynn really just wants to drink her lemonade, 
  • Kaleb is wondering why he wanted to come over, 
  • Aubrey is just looking beautiful, 
  • Karli is picking her nose.

Whew. Oh yeah, and baby Tess slept thru all this!


Love these kids, and their parents! Thanks for making Lizzy's day so fun!
