Lily Kay is 6!

She was the first to get sick last week, and thankfully she was well in time for the big day.

The day she'd been counting down to since...oh, last September.

Yesterday Miss Lily Kay became an official 6-year old!

What does every 6-year old want?

Well, actually I don't know what every other 6-year old wants for their birthday, but I certainly knew what MY 6-year old wanted: Lego Hero Factory!

Yes, not exactly a girlie-girl present, but then we've already established that she's not a girlie-girl. But her buddy/idol (big brother Daniel) loves playing with Hero Factory - and she? Loves playing with Daniel!

We carried on our new tradition of me and the birthday boy/girl making their cake together.

Lily Kay chose chocolate with "Pink Vanilla Icing with sprinkles"...

...and she chose for us to make them into cupcakes, instead of a cake. She's wild and crazy like that.

I think LK's favorite part of the cupcake making process came near the end..

...but then...

...who doesn't love that part???

And then... Laolao took us all out to lunch to celebrate Miss LK! Lily Kay got to choose, and - surprise, surprise - she wanted us to eat at the Chinese Buffet in the neighboring town!

They say "Happy Birthday" to her and brought her this sweet treat plate:

Lily Kay, we are so blessed to be your parents - and we love you so much, baby girl! Happy 6th Birthday!
