Happy Birthday, Lillie & Cooper!

We helped celebrate a couple of birthdays in the Miller family last week. Tyson's brother's daughter Lillie turned 2 on the 17th, and his sister's son Cooper turned 5 on the 18th. On Sunday the 16th we had a little birthday party for both of them at Tyson's parents' house. It was a lot of fun! We had "basghetti" for dinner and then had cake and ice cream for dessert.

Cooper's favorite color is green so he wanted a green cake. He ended up with a soccer cake that was pretty cool! Lillie got little cupcakes with flowers on them. Tyson's dad made them and decorated them.

On Monday the 17th we went to Cooper's birthday party at his house. Tyson's dad came early and painted all the kids' faces in any way they wanted. After he was done there was Spider Man, a dalmation, a tiger, the Hulk...lots of different faces! They also hit a pinata outside in the front yard.

We got him a pair of jeans and a Spider Man seek and find book. He liked the book a lot. Angie says it will be a perfect church book. :)

There were also cupcakes for dessert. Kate liked the frosting.

It was a really fun party and Angie did a great job putting it together! There was a party for Lillie on Saturday the 22nd but Tyson was still down from his surgery. We were sad we couldn't make it. But we heard we missed out on a good one! It was a lady bug theme. Erika throws great parties and she's super creative with decorations and cakes.

Birthdays are so much fun!
