Five years ago today Tony and I were a nervous wreck preparing to meet our new daughter. Little did we know how seamlessly Lily would fit into our hearts, our lives, our family.
Fast forward five years and today Lily and I went to a fancy gourmet cupcake place to pick out our dessert for our Finally A Family celebration dinner. I read off all the different kinds of cupcakes the bakery offered. When I reached the "Pancake and Bacon" cupcake Lily's face lit up and she practically squealed, "Oh, Daddy will just love that!"
Not gonna lie, the thought of a pancake and bacon cupcake just about made me gag!! The good news is then Lily picked out a chocolate covered pretzel cupcake for herself and a salted caramel cupcake for her mama. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this child???
Because it's our Family Day...and we get to decide how to celebrate...we decided to eat our cupcakes before dinner! What a wonderful choice!! I'm not a huge fan of sweets, but these cupcakes were Out. Of. This. World!!! We're talking seriously yummy!!
Wanna know something really gross?? Tony said the cupcake with the chunks of bacon hanging out of it was actually delicious. I'll just have to take his word on that!
This afternoon as Lily and I played outside waiting for Tony to get home from work, I kept remembering back to 5 years ago and how incredibly afraid I was to be this sweet child's mother. Silly me. There is truly nothing I've ever done that has felt this right!
We are so blessed!
