Lollipop Lollipop...the last part

Moments before the balloons escaped!

Floating away







Lily LOVES balloons. Any type of balloon really- regular, helium, balloon animals, etc... She asks for one just about every time she sees one (at restaurants, at Sam's Club, anywhere). When we went to the dollar store for some birthday supplies long before her birthday she was already asking for balloons. We managed to hold her off until the day of her party. Joe took her back to the dollar store to pick out 10 balloons- and let me tell you, they came home with quite an assortment including princess balloons, actual happy birthday balloons, and even a balloon shaped like a rose. Amazingly Lily played with these helium balloons for weeks (they lasted that long)! Well, most of them lasted that long...except for the free floating balloon pictured above! Lily learned the hard way what happens when you let a helium balloon go outside. And as you can see, Eli apparently loves balloons as well- Grampy entertained him for quite a while with the balloons! We had a great time at the end of Lily's family party just sitting outside, enjoying the beautiful weather, and watching the kids play with balloons and Lily's new swing set. So there you have it- I've finally finished Lily's birthday party! Thanks for bearing with me- I'm sure by this point you have probably felt like you were there!:)
