Lilly turns five!!

Here she is, my Lilly. She has had a pretty good year I would say. Her daddy came home from Iraq, she went to preschool,started kindergarten, she made new friends but also said goodbye to some good friends, she cut her own hair, learned how to write her name,grew a ton, played with her sister a lot ,visited Kansas....... and well,it has been eventful.
It is amazing to watch your child grow into a little person, and really develop a personality. Some days she drives me wild, but at the end of the day she makes me smile.
 In her preschool class Mrs. Carol said she was a leader, but not in a bossy way. She said Lilly was a role model for the others. She makes me proud, it is great to know that when your child is not at home they are minding their manners. Now she isn't perfect at home, we struggle with her a lot. She has a mind of her own, and is very stubborn. Oh I can't wait until she is 13(NOT!!).
 Last year when she turned 4 I did a photo shoot and interview for Lilly, just for fun. I thought I should do it again this year :)
Here is how the interview went:
 Me: What is your favorite color?
 Lilly:PINK!(still pink like last year) 
Me:What is your favorite music artist/song?

 Me: What do you like about Hawaii? 
Lilly: Rainbows and mountains. 
Me: What are you exited to do when we move to Colorado soon?
