LILY-ISMS: December 2018 edition

Again, so much sickness during December...so sorry for any lost Lily Gems. You know there were many, guys. Enjoy!

Lily: I miss Nana-Poppy.
Claire: I know, Lily. I do, too. But they're leaving for Africa in two days and they have to take care of the pets.
Lily: Bo. Not the pets. BO. 

Brad: That was a good hug, Lily!
Lily: Yeah! Let's do it again!

Erin: That's a great idea, Lily!
Lily: Yeah! It is!

Erin: You want me to do it like this?
Lily: No, that not a great idea

Claire: I miss Bo.
Lily: I LOVE her!

You only live once, and sometimes you have a stomach bug while living. So when you don't, you should eat cake.
