Lily's Second Birthday Party

I decided that since we had a small party for Lily's 1st birthday that I would do something big for her second, so I rented a pony. All the other kids thought it was very exciting but Lily only wanted to pet it and kiss it. She only rode it once and that was for about 3 seconds, then she freaked out and squeezed the juice box she was holding directly into my hair and all over my clothes. Other than that mishap the party was a hit. All the kids got a hat, bandanna and squirt gun and had a great time chasing eachother around and shooting unsuspecting adults with water. The also decided that our greenhouse was a barn so they hung out in the 110 degree steamy greenhouse and would come out all sweaty and red-faced. Grandma Bean made Lily's horse cake and bandanna dress and they were both awesome. What would we do without Grandma's skills I don't know! We made tri-tip sandwiches for lunch and Shane and I cooked the meat the night before. We decided to cook four marinated tri-tips at once on the bbq which resulted in them catching on fire and almost burning down our awning. It was very exciting, Shane is still growing the hair back on his arm. All in all it was a great party and we want to thank everyone for coming, helping, bringing wonderful presents and for being a blessing in our lives.
