Balloons!

Every year, on the eve of Lillian's birthday, we blow up as many balloons as Latham and I can and fill our living room with them. This year we also added a birthday balloon that provided a lot of outdoor fun.

Thank you for your gifts

A huge thank you for all of your gifts and good wishes for Lillian's 8th birthday. This is one of the gifts that Lill loved the most -- Thank you, Shanela!

Birthday cake!

This year, my friend, Kim Chin, made a Matryoshka cake for Lillian. It tasted amazing as well.

Lillian turned 8 years old today -- and we welcomed the day with new hair.
