 Our precious Lily turned 12 on Thursday.

 And today we got to celebrate!

Tie-dye style.

(Hey Caleb, what do you think of Lily's cake?! She wanted you to see it!)

In addition to the tie-dye, Lily wanted to play some crazy games.

These girls love to be silly!

Do you think that Maple is having fun?!

The dye for the shirts needs to set for 24 hours, so I'll be sure to take a photo of the girls when they wear their shirts to school on Tuesday.

And these last two pictures are just for my Lily-girl, who loves shoes. David and I gave her the black pair of Bobs and sweet Alyssa gave her the orange pair. I think that Lily is in shoe heaven!

Happy Birthday, our beautiful girl. We are so proud of the young woman that you are becoming. We see you maturing more and more each day. We love your grateful heart. We love your adventurous and bold spirit. And We love the way that your boldness is becoming more refined for the glory of God. We love YOU, our precious Lily...to the moon and back.

(Thank you so much to those of you who prayed for me. I am so very grateful for each one of you. On Friday I had some good time to pray AND David and had a date...how can you beat that?! Thank you, Jesus! I know that these next couple of months will continue to be a challenge, but I also know that He gives strength that we would never have on our own. I'm depending on our precious Jesus to give me the stamina that I need...He is so faithful.)
