Lily turns 9 today. I can hardly believe it. I think 0-5 is so hard, 5-9 flies by! I can vividly remember what we did for all four of my older children's 9th birthdays, and now they are all so much older. I can remember Jack's 9th birthday party--we took a group of boys to the Phillies game, and Jack D. threw up in my car on the way home (into the pocket of the seat in front of him for some reason...Chris cleaned it out). And now, both those Jacks are sophomores in college. It goes by quickly!!
We have been celebrating this birthday for weeks! First, we had the birthday party on October 24th---a good old fashioned birthday party in the back yard:
Then, we had a special "last single digit" birthday dinner at the Blue Bell Inn, which is one of our favorite places. We took Chris and my brother in law, Joe, there for Father's Day this year, and apparently Lily liked how fancy it was, because that is where she wanted to go for dinner.
And then, tonight, we had her special birthday cake--an ice cream cake I made myself. I think it turned out very nice!
Happy 9th Birthday, Lily!!
