birthday week!

lucky was off tuesday (the 27th) and we just hung out together as a family for lillian’s birthday … we opened present first thing (where lillian got lots of disney princess items and dress up clothes) and ended with going to Cold Stone’s for birthday ice cream (they give you free ice cream on your birthday! and a good size too!). we can't believe she is 4 already!

for natalie's, on the 28th, she and the girls made cupcakes and we sat down as family for a wonderful homemade dinner and decorated our cupcakes together. it was simple, homey, but absolutely wonderful! :)

thursday was full too … emerson needed to get weighed since his weight was decreasing since we started having issues with nursing (aka: thrush), then the girls and i ate lunch with lucky at his office and his co-workers stopped by to say “hi” to the girls and see Emerson,

then i took the girls to a park for an hour or so … they loved it so much!

and friday we took the girls (and emerson … who slept through it all, but one picture!) to the zoo! and then we ate at crackel barrel on the way home. (zoo was suppose to happen on lillian’s birthday but it was too cold … so we changed it to friday which was the prettiest day this week!)

so this weekend should be pretty busy getting ready for lillian tea party/luncheon. we have lots of stuff to buy and food to make, but i am hoping she will have a wonderful party! i will try to have her post some pictures and her thoughts on her blog site soon. keep a look out. :)
