Lily's Pre-Birthday Party

I cannot believe November is already here! I had all intentions of not making a big deal of Lily's 3rd birthday, and just having a simple family dinner; however, in light of family events this past month I decided to savor each and every birthday of my sweet little girls and quickly put together a party for Lily - after all, this could be the last 3 yr old party we have! :) So, after a little thought of what Lily likes best (laying around in her PJs, watching Strawberry Shortcake and eating pancakes) - Lily's Strawberry-themed "Pancakes in your PJs" party was created. And, if I may say so myself, a great success!! I kept in small, inviting only a few close friends from church and school. With the different flus going around this time of year a few had to miss it, but actually 5 little 3 yr olds was perfect. With a yummy breakfast, fun games (egg relay and pancake toss), presents and decorating cupcakes the little ones stayed busy and Lily smiled the whole time!!

It was so much fun - I kept watching Lily and not believing she is already 3. I hate saying "time flies", but it really does. We just love our Lily bear.
