Sweet and Sassy

I took my very favorite five year old to her check-up on Friday afternoon.  She was all about it and ready to impress her pediatrician with all of the growing and learning she's been doing this past year.

 

Dr. Betty was impressed indeed and told me I have a very smart little girl who is most definitely ready for Kindergarten.  She passed her hearing and vision tests with flying colors, then got her official stats done, too.

Weight: 44 lbs. (75th%)
Height: 44 inches (75th%)
Blood pressure: 86/54

 

 

The next morning, Lila woke up and told me that it was going to be a great day.  She sure was right--the kids both had fantastic soccer games.  Jackson scored two goals and his team won 2-1, and Lila scored a goal and helped the Bees get a win, too.  Way to go, my little soccer stars!

 

 

Part 2 of Amazing Day began when we arrived at Sweet & Sassy for Lila's birthday party.  To say this girl was looking forward to it, would be the understatement of the year. 

 

 

She wore her Elsa dress and was the first one in the hair and make-up chair.  They did her hair in the cutest bow with braids on the side.  So precious I could hardly stand it.

 

 

We had to really limit the number of guests that she could have this year because it's a small place.  She invited all the girls in her pre-school class, along with some long-time close friends.  After the girls got their hair and make-up done, they got their fingernails painted, too. 
They were all in heaven--so cute!

I think blue was the color of the day!

I love my blue-eyed Elsa girl!

Maddie is kind of out-growing the princess stage, so she opted for this fierce, yet sassy, cheetah dress.  These two are such close friends these days.

After the girls got all made-up, they had a dance party to "Shake it Off."  Maddie sang and danced her heart out, while Lila was a little more reserved.  The party host got Lila dancing and smiling a little bit, though, and I knew she was having fun.

Then they rolled out the red carpet and we had a princess fashion show.  They introduced all of the princesses, told their favorite shows, pets and vacation spots.  Too funny.

Princess Lila was the last one introduced and all of her loyal fans were there to cheer her on.

Such beautiful little girls!

Then it was finally time for the cake--hooray!

We turned out the lights and everyone sang to the birthday girl. 
She blew out those five candles like a pro.

 

 

She was so thankful that Aunt Lyndsie and Memaw were there for her fun day...

as well as Gigi and Aunt Colleen.  The cake was scrumptious and the party was deemed a big success.  Hooray!



Our family came back to our house to watch her open her gifts.  Lila got so many thoughtful and sweet presents.  She couldn't wait to start playing with them.

Any chance little sister decided this was the time to start walking?  Nope!  Not a chance.  But the kid can stand really well!  Maybe this week--before she turns 15 months old:)
