...it's really Lilia Marie. Tia Favia calls her LiliLu, so do we. And Lili Pad. Can you believe it, she's 5!! Five. Cinco. How'd that happen? My baby is growing up.
She is so smart. She counted down the days for the last week. Told everyone yesterday, even the cashier at the pizza parlor, that it was her "birthday eve". I think she gets that from her Soso, who talks, talks and talks.
I made her a special shirt for her special day. It didn't turn out like I had hoped. It looks okay from a distance, but close-up, it needs to be redone. I used some cheap fabric flats (??). Makes a difference. I don't know if I'll redo it or not. But she did look faboo!!
I left her this morning with Lita. I felt bad. But she knew once the kids came home from school (@ 11am) that she could open her presents. She was patient. But what ended up happening is that Lita had all the neighbor kids in the house and they blew out candles, ate cake AND opened presents. I missed it!!!!
But she had fun, and she had Isaiah over, the love of her life and that's what matters. The kids did save a couple presents for her to open at night. Her pillow pet, chalk and Chutes and Ladders. AND a Barbie bike!
She is happy. I *think* I'll still do another birthday with her friends from school, but I need to get through Sun Lake planning first.
Sofia left to the birthday party of her best friend and here the rest of us sit.
Done with school. It's 9:24 and no one is in bed. There will be no one to PULL out of bed in the morning. No lunches to make.
Schools out for SUMMER!!!!
