Birthday gifts


The first picture is of a birthday card from the family in Melbourne and Lily is wearing the backpack that I bought her. She got a gift card to her 2nd favorite store Target (the fabric store is her first favorite because she sometimes gets to walk around out of the cart there and all the ladies know her and coo over her) and some cash-ola. The backpack I picked up for a dollar at JoAnn's and Lily wears it all around with a diaper and wipes in it. She looks so cute with it because she looks like a big girl ready for school.
And the second picture is where yesterday the FedEx guy dropped off a box. I put the box in the middle of the living room and went tot the kitchen to get a knife to open it. I came back around the corner to find Lily on top of the box. Can she really already recognize that Barbie pink? We get big boxes here a couple of times a week for my webstore and she never climbs up on top of those plain brown boxes.
Grandaddy has spoiled her again. He sent her a 6Volt battery powered ATV! This is the smaller version of the power wheels that we drooled over as kids. Lily was excited about it right away. She tried to climb up on it the whole time I was trying to put it together. She pushed it around the living room and everything.
The battery took 14 hours to charge so we didn't get to try it out until this morning, but we got it on video.

She was great. For those of you how can't see the video, she put her hands right on the handlebars and worked the 'go' button right from the start. She was just smiling so big the whole time and drove right into the furniture.
Thankfully the thing goes very slow because she has already tried driving while standing and driving backwards, and it has only been an hour!
It is already super hot outside and it is only 10AM so I'm going to wait until the evening to test it outside. As long as it doesn't rain, things get a little cooler around 7 or so.
