Just a few reaons why I LOVE Lili's school!

It was "Dr. Seuss Reading Night" at Lili's school tonight, with "special celebrity readers". No kidding! FOUR Notre Dame players, including the quarterback?!

Winning!

You don't often get the opportunity to have 4 players right there in front of you for the picking, so Lili and I, OK I took total and complete advantage of it!

There were only about 15 kids per group and the guys were just sitting there, offering to autograph things a pose for pictures FOR FREE! Hello! I love me a bargain :)

I have never felt so short....or old in my life!

Lili did tell me that I "looked like a teenager, like one of those boys". Can you believe that? I wanted to lick her feet right there. What a kid!

We did have a really fun time, she thanked me for taking her.

I thanked her for taking me!!

GO IRISH!

Happy 8th Birthday Lili!!!

What more could a girl want for her 8th birthday than...

corn?

In all seriousness, Lili truly did ask for corn for her birthday.

"Corn and Barbies" to be exact!

Obviously, the girl likes cake too!
As you can see, she's pretty excited to get to it.

Celebrating her Hello Kitty party.

We've already done every Princess and Spongbob, etc.

Who knows what we're going to do next year!

Overwhelmed!

Making a wish...

probably for more corn.

Blow out the candles!

Lili also asked for a "treasure box with money in it".

We figured out it was something that Grandma has made in the past that she reaaaalllly loves. Come to think of it, I think I want one too!

Look at that FACE!

JACKPOT!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILI!!!
