lila’s birthday at the zoo.

We started a tradition for Ellie’s birthday to go to the aquarium so we needed one for Lila. The zoo seemed fitting because it’s nicer weather in May and she loves animals. We went as a family and had a great little day. Lila really likes lions and dogs right now, though she seems to like the lions more in books. The lion wouldn’t turn around so I’m not sure she made the connection :). It was such a nice day which was such a treat!

We got to see the visiting rhinos which was pretty cool

Ellie kicked rocks and then danced because she’s always dancing :).

party time.

More like cake and decorations time because that’s about all the nice photos I got from Lila’s birthday party. I did a floral theme to celebrate her springtime birthday and to tie into her room decor. She seemed to have a great time and didn’t cling to me as much as I thought she would. She liked her cake alright, just not enough to tear it apart. Don’t be fooled, I dug into the side of it so that she could get to the chocolate cake because she wasn’t touching it at first. Thanks to those who came to celebrate!

Here are a few family phone pics from the party as well :). I had to hold her in all these photos or she would just be crying in them…
