My Lilly is 12

Our Lilly turned 12 yesterday!

We celebrated 12 amazing sweet and spicy years of Lilly Rebecca 💝.

Lilly took a break from her usual birthday dinner of dutch babies and sausage and went with cinnamon French toast--and kept the sausage.

She stuck with her usual Heath birthday Heath cake.

Check out Georgia, she's gripped.

Papa Dave, Mama Linda, Tam and Steve gave her canvas's and paint supplies.

She got right to it and painted her first work of art.

Friday she had a birthday party with her besties.

With three requests:

Papa Murphy's Pizza

Puss in Boots - the 2nd movie

Popcorn

She also celebrated with her first friend sleepover. Our rule is no friend sleep-overs until they're 12, so this was a big deal.

I found out they stayed up until after 1am watching dance moms. 

They were gripped. 

Then Saturday they rock climbed and Lilly beat her person record climbing wall number two.

A few of the "favorite things about Lilly" mentioned around the dinner table last night was her cool sense of style, she's confident--she will seriously accomplish whatever she wants in life, she's thoughtful, she's very self aware and she's not afraid to stand up for what's right.

Love you Lilly bug! So grateful for you.
