On Saturday, we went to Nai Nai and Aunt Sheila's church for an Easter Egg Hunt. Lily had a wonderful time dancing, singing songs, listening to Bible stories, making crafts, and even had the opportunity to hunt for Easter Eggs with Aunt Sheila!!
It was a very nice event and it is so much fun to see Lily becoming more and more confident in different settings.
After the Easter Egg Hunt Lily and I headed off to a Princess Ballerina Birthday Party for Lily's friend, Sydney. The invitation stated you should come dressed as your favorite princess. Um...Lily doesn't have one...and more importantly Lily REALLY dislikes princess dresses. Lily has a "thing" about clothes. They MUST be soft. No "scratchy" clothes for Lily...they absolutely drive her to distraction!
Lily wore a princess dress (we borrowed from a neighbor) to another birthday party a while back. She had her ballet leotard under the dress and still couldn't wait to get out of "this itchy dress".
As much as Lily likes Sydney (and Sydney's big brother, Conlan, even more) Lily did NOT want to go to Sydney's party if it meant she had to wear a princess costume. Lily was quite emphatic about it. Sydney's mom, Erica, assured Lily she could wear anything she wanted to the party, but that all the other girls would be dressed like princesses. As long as Lily didn't have to wear a princess dress she really didn't care what anyone else wore.
Lily and Sydney's ballet teacher, Miss Jen, provided the entertainment for the party. The girls danced, hula-hooped, hopped, skipped, jumped, and had an absolutely wonderful time. I've never seen 10 little girls so entralled.
After Sydney's party we headed out to dinner with Nai Nai, Aunt Sheila, and Daddy to celebrate Nai Nai's birthday.
It was nice to be able to sit and chat with Suzy and Sheila and get caught up on their lives. I'm sure we could've chatted longer, but poor Lily was practically falling asleep sitting up. Luckily for us, when Lily gets sleepy she doesn't get grumpy....she gets SILLY.
On Sunday afternoon, Lily, Tony and I spent some nice family time together. Tony has been working INSANE hours and this year Lily is really noticing it. When Tony is home Lily is practically glued to his side!
This week Lily and I had dinner with my friend, Barb, and her daughter, Kimberly. Aunt Barbie gave Lily a Bunny Hutch (think gingerbread house but for Easter) to put together. When we brought the Bunny Hutch home Lily said, "I want to wait until Daddy can help me put this together." So, Sunday evening that's just what they did!
