(thank you to Melissa for this wonderful photo!)
The Friday and Saturday before Lillie's party, Roger and I built "Lillieville" out of some cardboard boxes left over from our move. Lillie napped really well on Saturday and we were able to add some extra touches like the trees, shingles, mail and mail slot, and a little sunshine!
Lillie loves her new playhouse! 
We had approximately 12 kids plus their families over on Sunday afternoon - it all added up to about 35 people! We bar-be-qued and the kids made crafts (shaker bottles filled with things like sequins, jingle bells, wooden beads, etc.). The kids played and we ended the evening with yet another cake smash!
The birthday banner that I made (thanks to inspiration from Amber).
The next morning, we let Lillie open her gifts. She's such a proper girl - reading the card before opening the gift!
Playing with her gift from Genevieve!
No surprise - she loves the mountain of tissue paper!
Apparently, Lillie was needing her cake fix for the day!
Happy Birthday Girl! What a long way you've come!
