It's hard to believe that our little girl is 2 years old. I was just
thinking that her next birthday she will be 3; that's just crazy. We
have been overly blessed by this little angel in our life. She makes us
laugh everyday and has filled up our hearts to overflowing. We were
lucky enough to have her birthmom, Mandy, here for the weekend. We
enjoyed every second with her. One of my brothers had commented to us
that it would be interesting to see how Lilly reacts and if there is any
connection between her and Mandy that's neurological or something. It
was amazing to sit back and watch Lilly as we were picking Mandy up from
the airport; Lilly just loved Mandy as though she saw her every single
day. She played with her and laughed at her and there was definitely a
connection. When you think about it too much, it's hard to think that
they will have this relationship I will never have with Lilly. BUT just
having her birthparents and their families in our lives has made our
little family that much richer. We feel abundantly blessed to have
these people in our lives. Lilly's birthfather and his mom are two
amazing people as well. They sent Lilly a package and even though they
have only met her once, they love her so much. They are two of the
sweetest people in our family and we are grateful for their love and
support too.
We
were able to Skype with my parents (who are in Russia) first thing in
the morning and Lilly loved it! We also got to Skype throughout the day
with quite a bit of family and got a lot of phone calls wishing Lilly a
Happy Birthday! We have a big pancake breakfast on our birthdays and
Lilly was freaking out that she had Mickey Mouse pancakes! She kept
saying, "Mickey, Mickey, Mickey."
We also had to put Mandy to work while she was here and she made Lilly a really CUTE cake! Lilly was a lot calmer about eating the cake this year. Mandy was playing with her while she ate the cake and Lilly was laughing really hard...until Mandy decided to put a little frosting on her cheeks, scroll to the bottom to see how Lilly reacted. :)
It really was a great day and Lilly quickly got a bath and was completely exhausted by the time she went to bed. Thanks for everyone that made the day so special.
