Lily's Favorite Birthday Party Ever!

And no, it wasn't her own party over Labor Day weekend! Instead, it was a "Wizard of Oz" party for a little girl at our church. Madison and Lily had just watched the "Wizard of Oz" for the first time a few weeks earlier (it was known around our house as "The Tiger Movie"). But this was no ordinary party, this party had the "real" characters walking around and meeting the guests! Lily was so excited - she got to meet the "real" Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion. Here she is with the whole crew.

The funniest part of the day for us was when Lily convinced Dorothy, Tin Man and Scarecrow to let her show them their picture (which was actually a cutout figure that you can put your own face in). She took Dorothy over first and then went through the rest of the crew, but refused to take the Lion, because he was scary. By the way, the next day, she was almost in tears because she was so sad she didn't show the Lion his picture - she just kept saying "He's not scary, the Lion is nice". It was really pathetic!
