**Disclaimer- I almost didn't post this because I am so behind, but I couldn't not document Lilly girl's big birthday!  Man, I wish I could get caught up!  AAGGHH!

We started Lillian's birthday with our hug mugs!  It was a special day for Iz to get hot chocolate with marshmallows at breakfast!

Hurray, it's my birthday!!

Birthday cinnamon rolls!

Lillian's little throne for the day..

More friends.. Greyson and Papa... and Iz on the mic!

She was pretty mesmerized with the flame on the candle.

Our attempt at a family photo..

Not gonna wear it, mom!

She was so unsure about her cake!

Not a huge fan of the frosting or cake :(, but Isabelle was {insert her hand}!

Lillian's birthday cake was so good.. I mean, so good.

Her monthly photos were hung with care.. ;)

Happy girl, she loved playing with that balloon!

My sweet little.

Lillian Grace, you are such a little love bug and sweet heart, we love you so much!!  It's so fun to watch you and Isabelle interact and love each other as sisters and friends.. excited for more birthdays and memories!  (although, I wish I could freeze you in time and keep you little)

Here we were at Lilly's 1 yr appt.

Isabelle was reading while Lillian checked the place out.

Lillian getting some help to walk with her big sis..

happy little..

my little Izzy.

The snow wasn't right for a snow man so daddy made this with Izzy.. it was Swiper the Fox {from Dora}, ha!

Just keeping Lillian entertained with lemons at the grocery store {yeah, not very sanitary, I know}.

another HUGE snow..

Lilly girl checking it out.

There was so much snow when we woke up, but it was so sunny, it made 'sun dogs'.. the coolest thing, I couldn't stop taking pictures of it.

We had a little cabin fever and ended up at the mall so the girls could play a little.. 

This just reminded me of myself when I was little.. always licking the cookie dough off!

I came downstairs to find that Isabelle had decorated her face and her baby with blue eye shadow.. oh man.

Lillian playing in the kitchen.. so fun to watch.

Just going to eat the rest of the hummus right out of the container with my hand!

Looking up the stairs at her sister, wanting to make it up there so bad!

on her way..

sister love in the tub.

We to visit our friends in Manhattan- Lillian had fun playing with Zoey!

Friends!  Cheers!

Colin and Lillian.. fun to see the Greenlee's and have breakfast with them!

Iz {and Lucy} learning a life lesson from her Aunty B.

I looked down at my tea bag and read this.. made me smile.

Iz looking so big in mom's heels and purse, she loves to play dress up!

Trying to sneak up the stairs again!

Another great thing to read during afternoon tea.

Such a happy little checking out what's in the tent.

I got to take Iz to the community theater to see Seussical the Musical.. it was a fun date night with my daughter.  She was so cute asking where the people went when they left the stage and got excited when they changed clothes.

Just enjoying the show!

Isabelle's Valentine's cards for her friends at school.  "You're all write" with a little note pad.

Play group at the Art Center.. fun painting!

Izzy hanging out with me in my craft room..

Love that precious face.

Such a big girl riding her bike!
