Today we had Lily's b-day party. I can't believe she's already 5!!!! She was so happy her birthday had come. She picked out her dress last night, and when she woke up this morning at 7:00 she quickly put it on and was all ready for her party. She was so excited!
We had a bunny/Easter themed party with a bunny cake. All the kids wore bunny ears as their birthday hat, and had their faces painted. They did an egg hunt, played cotton football, musical eggs, had a cake walk, played pin the cotton tail on the bunny, had a bunny head pinata, and played outside in the beautiful sunshine!
It looks like the ears from the pin-the-tail game are on Lily's head. I love it!
Here were the invitations Lily handed out. Inside the eggs were chocolate eggs, and the info for the party.

This was Lily's reaction to the gift Ben and I got her, a kid video camera. She loved it!
The pinata. Brayden was the last one to hit it, and he was the one to break it open.
She had a good day, all in all.
