Fall Family Outings

It's Fall! That means there are a lot of fun activities for our family to enjoy. Pumpkin Patches and Balloon Festivals, our options are endless. It sure doesn't feel like it though... HOT, MUGGY and HUMID. Ugh!

A couple weeks ago we took Lilly to the Plano Balloon Festival. It was too windy for the balloons to fly but we got to see them glow. It was a lot of fun. We meet up with some friends too and the kids enjoyed dancing to the live music.

Our friends Kyra and Israel joined us  

Daddy bought Lilly a birthday present. She is our little Saint! Robert has taught her to say 

"WHO DAT."

Today we met our Sunday school class at the McKinney Pumpkin Patch. We had a great time! Lilly got to go on a ride through the Storybook Ranch, pet some animals (well not really, she wouldn't touch them), and bounce.

Everyone got to pick out a baby pumpkin to take home.

Look Who's Turning 2

I seriously can't believe two years have gone by since we met our precious girl, Lillian. She has significantly changed our lives for the better and I thank God everyday for her. Her smile alone brings me so much joy. We started our weekend our with a delightful surprise, Lilly's great aunt "More T" and great grandma "More Gram" decided to take a road trip from Alabama to Texas for Lilly's 2nd birthday party. We were so excited and happy to see them.

On Sunday the whole family gathered at our house to celebrate Lilly's birthday.

Gram made Lilly this pretty blanket

 This is what a guy does at a 2 year old birthday party, draws football plays. Silly Danny!

Lilly loves her new doctor kit

 I made Lilly a special magnet board for her birthday. 

I was really happy with how it turned out. It was a HIT! 

I'm not sure what I was thinking scheduling a birthday party in the middle of a New Orleans Saints game but believe me, I learned my lesson. Robert almost missed singing "happy birthday."

Speaking of the "Happy Birthday" song, Lilly didn't like it too much. I don't think she liked being the center of attention.

She didn't want to eat the cake at first but once she took her first bite into the yumminess of the cake ball she wanted more.
