Sunny 9 for 2005 August 30

Last night we celebrated my birthday at my mom's house before she left for UT this morning. We had steaks and baked potatoes, and my favorite Oreo ice cream cake dessert. It was great, and I also scored bringing home some clothes from Lorna that she didn't fit into. They were hand-me-downs to Lorna, which are now hand-me-downs to me--not to be confused with Lorna not fitting in them because she grew out of them, I am not that small.

This morning I dropped mom off at the airport to go to UT for Shelley's wedding. I wish I could go, but frankly I just haven't been away from Utah long enough to miss it. I miss Julie, David, and Michelle though.

Lily has been so cute and snuggly lately. She gives lots of hugs and kisses, and even gives her dolls and stuffed animals hugs. She is cutting one upper tooth. I thought they grew in in pairs, but apparently not. This is just one lone hillbilly front tooth. It hurt her a lot on Sunday but she seems happy as ever yesterday and today.

I have been meaning to mention here Lily's big birthday party we had for her, but kept forgetting. Aaron wrote about it in his blog, but I figure I better mention this milestone too. It was really fun with lots of friends and family attending. Lily scored with lots of new toys (she was getting sick of just her teething toys) and she got to enjoy a chocolate cake all by herself. The adults got the Baskin Robbins ice cream cake that was decorated in Strawberry Shortcake theme and pretty good too. We had her party a little early so Michelle could be there before heading to Utah. Overall, it was a success.
