Lilja's birthday weekend

Lilja is TWO!!! wow, how fast this year has gone!! and what a year it has been. I am still in awe of Lilja sometimes. She is such a fun smart little girl to be around. Always smiley, lovey and sweet. We are very lucky to have her in our lives.

Like last year, we wanted to celebrate Lilja's birthday with her tummy mommy, Jasmin. This time we met her and her best friend David at the Zoo. David definitely brought some extra fun to the day.. However, the morning started out with Lilja throwing up.. so we were a little weary of the day.. she perked up a little so we decided to go ahead and continue going to the Zoo. We did not know it was Boo at the Zoo that morning and we have never seen so many kids in costumes. Lilja was a little off through out the day but she held out. Ofcourse we had to sing Happy Birthday to her.. this time with a muffin, just so her tummy would not be too upset.





Lilja was a little clingy to both of us, but Jasmin had great patience and I hope she sees what an amazing little girl Lilja is.






These gorillas just walked by and you had a feeling you could just touch them.. impressive!






Snuggles with Daddy




This frog was the highlight of the animals..




Jasmin and Lilja.. We are so glad Jasmin wants to be a part of Lilja's life and it is cute to see them together.. Lilja looks a lot like Jasmin.





Jasmin's friend David came along for the ride.. He definitely brought some color to the day.. Thanks guys for meeting us.. we had a great time!!


The best time was the sea lions again. we waited around for the presentation.. Lilja loved the sea lion..











Well, about 3 pm we said good-bye and went home.. I think we were all ready to have some quiet time.. I have never seen so many people at a ZOO. Unfortunately Lilja got sick again right when we got home.. then we knew she really was sick.. in bed at 6:30 and slept till 7:30.. plus slept all the way home. We were going to go see friends to celebrate Lilja's birthday with them too.. but a sick child around three little boys did not seem like a great idea.. so we went straight home. Next weekend we will have a party for Lilja, then we'll really celebrate with a healthy child..
