Lillian turns 9!!!!!

There is a whole lot of "not normal" in our lives right now.

But when I can, I try to maintain as many traditions as I can for my Sparkles.

To celebrate Lillian's birthday she and I get our morning Starbucks before heading to her "official" doctors appointment.

Lillian likes the Vanilla Frappichino with a little drizzle of caramel on top.

For those that are newer to the blog and the Sparkle escapades, each Sparkle goes to see the Dr. on their birthday to turn their new age. At the end of their appointment our Dr announces that they are officially a year older and presents them with a birthday sticker. This has been a tradition since Madison was born and I have continued for each Sparkle.

 Practicing her math facts while we wait (can you tell she's not thrilled ;)

 Officially 9 and headed back to school :)

After a birthday shopping trip with Nana, dinner with our favorite cowboys it was time for a few family gifts before bed.

On Friday, Daddy picked her up from school for a special adventure.

And then dinner with just Momma and Daddy

A simple but lovely birthday celebration for the middle Sparkle.
May this year be another year of blessings with our favorite Lillian Nicole :)
