As many fellow bloggers already know, we were on an extended pre-holiday road trip before to visit family in 3 different states. While the purpose of the trip was to visit family and friends for Christmas, it also included a special birthday celebration.
The youngest granddaughter celebrated her 5th birthday ( already) in December. We started our trip in PA bearing gifts. A family party was planned for the weekend; we opted to deliver gifts a day earlier before the birthday celebration.
The next day brought more family members and more gifts were opened. Besides unicorns, this young miss is a fan of the Frozen film characters.

It's always good to see the happy, smiling faces of children.
My Granddaughter is four and a half and seems to be into all the same activities and toys as Lilliana. Frozen is a favourite, although Paw Patrol is number one!

what a way to start your 3 state visitation of family. she looks so happy. I have heard from my DIL that a birthday the day after Christmas was always hard, her birthday always got caught up in Christmas activities and she go Christmas theme birthday cards. they might have to build a room to put gifts in soon. after a few more birthdays. my favorite is the beautiful unicorn.
How blissfully happy everyone must have been, especially your big 5 year old!
I didn’t know Grenville was a retired firefighter. Your granddaughter is so sweet and I enjoyed seeing the gifts, especially that furry unicorn. Looks like you had a wonderful visit!
Oh how wonderful!!! Love to see the joy and innocence of a child on their birthday...and to see such delight in her eyes and smile! Love that her Grandpa took the time to play with her and learn about all those important things! I love that you were able to be there for her all important day. Thank you for sharing this event with us. It does our hearts good to see such happiness!! I love her name, Lilliana. I bet she would just love my little friend "Lily Grace". Since I don't have any little five year old granddaughters to play with, I have to pretend, but we do have such fun. Glad you are home safe and sound and hope that you will have a wonderful New Year!
She's such a cutie! It's good that you were able to share this wonderful time with her. The children are what our life is all about. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
Nothing is more warming the heart than the joy of a child when receiving a gift. Liliana is an adorable 5-year old girl! May there be many happy returns of her birthday!
What a wonderful ace to see Lilliana opening her gifts. There really is joy in the faces in children. It sounds like you've been having a wonderful holiday, and I'm glad you were able to be there for her birthday. Hugs-Erika
How fun to be able to honor Lilliana on her special day! Odd how she won every game. 😉
The joy of celebrating a 5 yr old ❤ Loved every picture!
Such lovely photographs.
Belated Happy Birthday Wishes to Lilliana.
All the best Jan
What a cutie. She sure loved all her gifts. Glad you were able to get to Lancaster to spend this special time with her.
Thanks for your card. I didn't get any out this year. It's been one of those years.
Happy Birthday to dear Lilliana. These photos are adorable and so is she.
Lilliana is so beautiful! Happy Birthday!
She's adorable.
Well of course she was the winner and you were thrilled to oblige.
Lovely post
That's the age of Big Toddler (in two months) and it's such a fun age! They're finally able to communicate and converse and yet they're still kids. Liliana is just a beautiful little girl and I'm so glad you could be with her to celebrate! Very special indeed!
They grow up so fast! She really had a wonderful birthday. Glad you could make it there to celebrate. :)
It is always nice to celebrate birthdays with the grandkids. I loved all of your photos. More please!
She looks like a sweet little girl. We got to see our almost 6 year old grandson this Christmas. Happy laughs and lots of energy is always happening at that age.
Happy Birthday! 5 is fun number! And she looks like she is very happy with all the fun gifts she received

Happy Birthday to Lilliana! What a sweet child!
And how wonderful that you were able to share this precious moment with her.
Wishing you a fantastic 2022!
Such a lovely age. Everything is exciting and innocent. Bet you had a lovely time. B x
I think I need an oversized stuffed unicorn and a nap!
Our CJ loves PlayDoh, too! I'm pretty sure he got some from Santa.
Looks like you had a fun time with Lilliana. Happy that you both got to be part of her birthday celebration.
I loved seeing her happy facial expressions. It looks like she had a great birthday.
On an unrelated note: I like your Teddy Bear image. :-)
