Birthday party!

Today was Lily’s birthday, and for anyone that knows Lily, this is pretty much the highlight of her year! She’s been counting down since the day after her birthday last year and I think she’s woring on plans for her 9th birthday now. She’s turned 7 today and we had a great day making her feel special. I tried to negotiate with her to have one more year of being 6 and then next year she could go straight to 8, but she wouldn’t have it. It would have given me another year to adjust that these kids keep growing too fast, but there’s no stopping it, and I’m afraid it’s happening much faster than I like. L
So Rachel started her day with pink pancakes, and Maggie and Rachel made her chocolate cupcakes, with pink frosting, and we had a tea party for lunch. For dinner, she wanted hamburgers and of course, macaroni and cheese. With the wind howling outside all day, over 20 knots, and the seas stirred up in no shape for comfortable sailing, we had a relaxing day celebrating with her and watching movies.

We love you Lily and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
