Lizzie's birthday

Lizzie had a good birthday (well, I think she did)...even if you can't tell from these very grumpy pictures. Lizzie just woke up from her nap a little bit before dinner and was still in groggy mode. That wore off pretty quick as dinner went on and she saw we were having a made-for-Lizzie dinner of homemade mac-n-cheese, diced up lunch meat, peas and applesauce. She loved it!! She got a new shirt and jacket from mom and dad and a toy block from her and Caitlin's blocks (Caitlin wanted to give her a present, so she chose a block and wrapped it up- Lizzie loved it!!!)
The cake was a scrumptious cake carrot with cream cheese frosting- not from a box!! It's a really really really good and super easy recipe from a friend that truly makes box carrot cakes taste like cardboard.
Anyhoo, these are just a few birthday ones and some from the last week or so:

One day while Caitlin was still napping, Lizzie was playing outside and I was in the kitchen. I looked out later and she had hoisted her little chair on top of the big one and was just chillin' on it, checking out the scene. It was so cute!
