As I was making breakfast, Liliana burst into the kitchen and exclaimed, "I know what day it is! It's my BIRTHDAY!" We managed to get in gift opening before Emmaline had to head off to school. It was still dark outside as we were doing that. Liliana received an art kit (thank goodness she made that New Year's Resolution!), a huge Tinkerbell coloring and sticker book, a big cardboard playhouse that she can color and decorate herself, a bouncy ball (the kind you sit on and bounce around), Hi-Ho Cherry-O, and Play-doh kit.
Lil played away the morning with her new stuff. The cardboard house was definitely fun. She colored on it, and she also drew pictures and glued to it.
AJ had the day off, so later in the afternoon, he took her to run some errands (a special treat to be the only kid going!) and then took her out for ice cream. She has never been in an ice cream parlor before and AJ reported that she was very excited and even remembered to spontaneously tell him thank you for bringing her!
For dinner - she requested spaghetti, and a glass of milk, and for her cake she wanted it to be "Strawberry Shortcake". She didn't mean the actual kind of Strawberry Shortcake - but rather she wanted it to look like the character of Strawberry Shortcake. My skills are limited in that area, but I did manage to make her a cake shaped like a strawberry! She even blew out her candles in one blow.
At the end of the day, after all the kids were in bed, AJ and I laid down on our bed, and were discussing the day, and suddenly woke up about half an hour later - and realized we had both fallen asleep - and it was only 7:30pm. I guess that is what being married 10 years is really like!
Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl Lil-Pie!
