Lily and Jake's birthdays are on consecutive days, so a combined party is a good idea. For now, anyway! Scheduling dictated this year's event to be on July 12th - close, but not quite the correct day. Glenn and Kelly were the hosts. At the appropriate time, we arrived to celebrate.
The tea set in all its glory - two tea cups and saucer, plates and some "food". There's also a tea pot somewhere.
Lily was rather tired, and threw a hissy fit over something or other. Here she is caught in mid stream!
Doesn't take much to distract Lily - here she is now opening her birthday card, with brother Cooper watching on.
Lily has the card open - and it's a singing card! Much surprise all around - even Flynn has come in to see what it is. He's quite the gadget boy, so would be quite interested too. We haven't quite figured out the words from the singing in the card!
Lily received a "Little Pet Shop" present for her birthday. It opens like a book (seen in the bottom of the photo) with various places for pets to be placed. And some of them have action, such as a merry-go-round in the middle (the part with the circular roof in the picture). Michelle bought an "animal pack" to augment the one or two which came with the shop. And here they are removing the animals and Lily is placing them in the shop.
Lily with her "pet shop". She loves animals, and seems quite taken by this. Here she was showing me how the animal rotates when in the bath if she turns the wheel on the side!
