Our little mermaid turns 3

Our Lilybug is now a year older and I don't know how time has passed so quickly but it has. We are so blessed to have Lily as our baby girl. She's got so much love for us and she makes all of us feel so special. She has such a big heart and she's the best cuddle buggie and her hugs and kisses are to die for. She is the perfect mix of tough and girly and being the tomboy that I am I appreciate it all. She even makes girly stuff interesting and worthwhile for me because it's her and she is what makes everything special. I would rather be with her than any other girl on the planet. One trait that most of the time drives me crazy about her is that she is very emotional. And I mean VERY emotional. She can and will cry at the drop of a hat. It nuts! Makes me wonder what it will be like when she hits teenage-hood. But its what makes her Lily and we love it! On the day of her birthday she opened most of her presents from us and here's the fun...

Per tradition, all the kids get one gift with every birthday. Bubba got a Cars 2 bike.

And Dudu got a Jake and the Neverland Pirates with Peter Pan DVD. Which they all love and were excited about.

For the Lily birthday present finale she got a Strawberry Shortcake bike! She adores it and is starting to ride it pretty good. In no time she be instructing Spin classes with Mama!

I LOVE this photo! Daddy and Bubba helping her along her first time on her new bike. Sweetness!
