shocking

 Pretty exciting time for Lily!  In November she started feeling a few teeth getting pretty loose - she was so excited!  One finally fell out one morning, and she was very happy.  It was the tiniest thing ever - it got dropped at one point in the carpet, and we thought we would never find it.  The Tooth Fairy left a dollar for her, which she promptly bought some candy with the next day.  I remember when she got that tooth!  So crazy.
Even bigger news is she turned the big 7 years old.  We had set her birthday party before Thanksgiving because of my due date.  We went to the Ogden ATC and had them do hair updo's and manicures for the girls, then came back to the house for pizza, cake and ice cream.  Lily seemed so happy, which was awesome because I normally get something horribly wrong and she ends up unhappy with something.

We then celebrated her birthday the Friday after Thanksgiving since Mom and Dad were here.  Earlier that day we emptied out the van, left the kids, and picked up a new bed for Lily to move into the office - her own room!  She was so excited!  Mom and Dad took everyone to Cafe Rio, Lily's choice, and we had more cake and ice cream at home afterwards.
It was pretty lucky we did that, because the day before Lily's birthday she got the flu or something and was pretty sick for almost 3 days.  The night of the actual day we went and got her a new coat, and Jackson gave her a new water bottle.  We also watched her baby video Amanda made for her - just a few shots from the hospital put to music, but so fun to watch.  It's hard to think it has been 7 years and we're having our fourth baby.  These events always make the time in between seem so short.
Not much I can say about this little firecracker.  She sure keeps us on our toes, at the same time as showing us how sweet she is and lucky we all are to have her around.  We love her so much!

As a side note, Jackson caught the same bug Lily did.  One morning he was hitting his head with his fist, and I asked him what he was doing.  He said he had a dream where Jesus told him to bang the headache out of his head.  Later he told me it worked.
