Oh, how I love her!  She had the biggest smile on her face the whole day long.  

Summer and Tilly with Mrs. Pittman.  She is in her third year of O'Dell children and won't know what to do next year not having one, ha! We are truly thankful for her investment in our family.  

After school, we surprised Tilly and one of her favorite friends, Sidney with a play date!  They were sooo excited! 

A very special friend, Mrs. Ward, brought over cookies from Jody's and a card for the birthday girl.  She does this for each of our children, so special.  

So, UPS delivered a long, skinny box at the end of the previous week and Tilly has been chomping at the bit all week to open it.  

We were all pretty confident about what was in the box, Tilly's first American Girl Doll.  

Tilly chose the look-a-like doll with short brown hair and glasses.  Thank you, T, for such a special gift.  

Keeping with tradition, we let the birthday girl choose where to eat supper, and she chose Firehouse Subs.  I am thankful they aren't quite big enough to realize that they could choose places like Outback or Longhorn, ha!  We will stick with Taco Bell and Firehouse for now ;) After supper, we headed home to open the rest of her presents.  She also got to FaceTime Papa and Gigi and the Calhouns.  Happy birthday, sweet Tilly!  It was such a treat to get to celebrate your little life! We love you to the moon and back a whole bunch of times!
