Tilly's 8!

For Tilly's birthday she invited two friends to go get pedicures and spend the night!  It was a cute night.  Her cake was an ice box cake in the shape of a "T".

Just a few random shots of Tilly.  The first two on the trampoline are Tilly and Maggie on Easter.  Maggie's mom Katie was running the Boston Marathon that weekend so Maggie got to spend the weekend with us.  Those two have so much fun together.  

The rest of the pictures are just classic Tilly style.

Tilly's birthday part 2 & 3 & 4

On the night before Tilly's actual birthday she invited a friend over for dinner and a sleepover.  Her BFF Maggie came with us to Benihana.  We had such a good time.  It's always fun going to a place like that with a kid who has never been.  

The next night, her actual birthday Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Bart came down to give her presents and take her out to dinner.  She choose 3 Margaritas mexican restaurant.  I think she likes the sombrero they put on her (the glasses are fake, a birthday present).

 The tradition of birthday cereal continues.

One of Tilly's birthdays.

Chance was going to be out of town on Tilly's actual birthday so two nights before her birthday we surprised her with her presents.  Chance took her out skateboarding around the neighborhood while the girls and I decorated the house and put her presents out.  She was so surprised when she walked in the house.  It was a good surprise and she loved all her presents.

End of the soccer season...for Tilly

A couple of weekends ago Tilly had her last game with a team celebration to follow.  It was a great season for the Killer Koalas!  Everyone had a blast.

Tilly's Birthday!

Let me start by saying I am the worst blogger ever these days.  I know her birthday was August 31st.  We even celebrated it a day early.  I just didn't get around to posting until today.

Well, she is finally 6!  We had a great night before birthday cake, then presents in the morning before school (Chance had to work later that day).

 Skittles!!!  I think she will always get skittles for her birthday after this reaction one year.

Her birthday night she had her friend Maggie over and we went out to sushi, came home and watched a movie and the girls slept in the tent in the living room.  Happy Birthday Tilly!

Tilly playing goalie, I love the look on her face!

After the last game the had a little get together where everyone got a trophy!  Fun season.

Tooth fun

I am not sure if you know or not but Tilly had an extra tooth in her mouth. See that pointy one in the middle on the top? That's a bonus tooth. Today, she got it taken out.

All gone! She was quite a trooper (so Chance tells me, I didn't go on this trip to the dentist).

I went skiing today!

Tilly is 5!!!

Tilly turned 5 on Wednesday. She got yummy breakfast cereal, went to school and got a birthday ribbon and crown and then came home to open presents after school.

Thanks for all the cards and gifts. She had a great day. We are planning on birthday cake tonight with Grandma Cindy & Grandpa Bart!

Tilly's 4!

For those of you that don't know, this is how a 4 year old gets dressed in the morning.

The day started with hugs from dad...

...and special cereal - Frosty Cakes (Frosted Flakes) and Lucky Charms!

Tilly wanted an Ice Box Cake for her birthday, just like Grandma Carol

After school she opened her presents

Sporting some of her new gear for our ride down town to Lucky Pie for dinner.

Back home eating her Ice Box Cake...yummy!

All in all it was a great day. Thanks for all who sent cards, presents, well wishes and good thoughts Tilly's way!
