Lillian's Birthday with Family

We invited all of our family over to our new home to celebrate Lillian's 4th Birthday!! We had spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and of course cake and ice cream. I made a yellow cake with apple cinnamon filling and a yummy cream cheese spice frosting. It was so good and everyone really enjoyed it. Lillian really enjoyed seeing all her family. Grandma and Grandpa Case, Grandma Anne and Grandpa Mickelsen, Aunt Debbie, Uncle John, Sammie and Nikki, Uncle Jared and Aunt Heather, baby Adam, Uncle Scott and Aunt Jen all came to Lillian's party. Lillian hadn't seen Gpa and Gma Case in awhile so she was really excited to see them and Uncle Scott and Aunt Jen whom she is always excited to see.
Lillian really loved opening all her presents and the new toys, etc were great too. She got some money for her savings account, bath bubbles and some books with sticker sheets from Gma and Gpa Case. She loves stickers!! A turtle night light and toy skillet with food in it from my parents. She was so excited for her night light and so were we. She had been having a hard time adjusting to sleeping in her own room away from Mommy and Daddy.  Several times she would come into our room and sleep on the floor next to our bed or behind our bed. It was frustrating for us but we knew that she had been used to being in the same room with us for almost 4 years so understandably she was having a hard time. We fell in love with the nightlights from http://cloudb.com/ and we knew it was what we were looking for.  Now Lillian sleeps through the night without any problems, such a relief. Aunt Dunie (Diane) wasn't able to be there because she had to work, but she gave Lillian several coloring and learning books. Aunt Jen and Uncle Scott gave her some adorable bracelets and contributed to the night light and food skillet. Aunt Debbie and Uncle John gave her this cute little white dog that came in a pink carrier with a comb, leash,  pink "water" bowl,  clothe bone, and "poop."  Both her and Preston loved it. Go figure, my kids love animals especially kitties and dogs. She got a cute little princess book that was narrated by Uncle Jared and Aunt Heather with a little help from Adam. Such a clever idea, and Lillian listened to it over and over again for the next few days. Lillian really loved all her new toys, books and having her family here to celebrate with her.
