Lilli's Birthday Party (April 26th)

Lilli had her birthday party at The Little Gym. It was her first "real" birthday party... (The first birthday is really more for the parents. Her second birthday she was sick and had no party. Her third birthday we didn't really have a party because I didn't know any of the parents from her dagis (Swedish daycare) class.) One of Lilli's best friends from school, Savannah, had a birthday near the beginning of May so they decided to have a joint party. (Joint parties are very common over here because everything is so expensive.)

The birthday girls, Lilli and Savannah, waiting patiently for their party to begin.

Lilli's birthday cake: chocolate with pink frosting (as requested) with a princess theme.

I'm a sucker for action photos... Tipton in mid-air!

Lilli in mid-air!

Look at that face... how could I not post this photo? Such a cute little mug.

The birthday girls in the middle of the parachute. The party goers held onto the outside of the parachute and walked around in a circle, taking the Lilli & Savannah for a little spin.

Lilli loves to be upside down.

Look at that concentration!
That boy next to her is Oskar. He is going to marry Lilli. He sent her a written marriage proposal. (Okay, so it was written by his Mom, but he drew all the hearts...)

Lilli & Savannah on the air track. I love this photo. The kids are blurry in every photo taken on the air track.
At one point they brought out the scarves. Lilli and Savannah and Narina went around and gathered up all the pink scarves. Nobody was surprised.



Not the best photo because of the backlight, but I love the expression on Tipton's face!


They look so serious... I wonder what they were talking about? Mia looks exactly like her Mom (Besty) in this picture!


The Mommies: Jenn, Birgit, Kim & Susann

Lilli & Savannah counting for Hide & Seek - Lilli's FAVORITE game.

Tipton and Lilli. The only picture we got of the two of them together.

Waiting to come in for cake.

Party hat on and ready for cake!

Taking a deep breath to blow out the candle...

Malin (Savannah's Mom) shows Lilli the cake she ordered for Savannah - it has a picture of Lilli & Savannah on it!

Malin and Jenn, the birthday girl's mommies, enjoying some well deserved cake.


The party is over. Everybody got goody bags. The horns were by far the favorite party favor.

Noah and Tipton - the big brothers. (Noah is Savannah's big brother. He and Tipton are in the same class at school.)

At home, after the party, Lilli got to open the birthday presents from her friends. Several of them went in together and got Lilli this pretty doll bed.


Pink and satiny and very girly - the perfect gift for Lilli!
