Happy First Birthday to our amazing little Lulu!! Lucy spent the day with pretty much everyone she knows - her grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, great grandma, great aunts, and even daddy's friend Brian Kilmer who may never talk to daddy again after being invited to a first birthday party.....which daddy should have mentioned would be all family. Poor Brian!!!! But, it did give Aunt Katie a chance to meet her future hubby so it worked out all well!
We were so excited to wake Lucy up, singing "Happy Birthday" - it was so cute to see the smile on her face (maybe that was the fact that both of us entered into her room at the same time singing, or maybe she actually work up knowing it was her birthday, but she smiled!) and from there on, we wanted to make it her special day. So, we ate our favorite foods all day (cheese, blueberries, pancakes and greek yogurt) and had a lot of playing!!! We had high hopes that she would open her gifts from us and get excited and play with them all afternoon - but she just watched us play with them and pointed at the balloons and tissue paper balls. I should have wrapped those up!!!
Lucy's party was so much fun and we are so so grateful to everyone who came on a holiday weekend to celebrate with her!!! She was one spoiled little girl and we can't believe how thoughtful everyone is to our little peanut. From her new Radio Flyer Pony (a project for Joe this evening!), to her new princess balls, her new princess suitcase, her bike that has replaced our stroller these days, her hamburger and french fry t-shirt that Joe would like in his own size, to her fun outfits and special "1" Snow White train from her Great Grandma, Lucy is one very very lucky little lady!!!
Pics to be uploaded as soon as we locate the white USB cord :)!! Also, watch for Lucy on Tuesday morning as her pic will be on NBC's "First Birthdays!"
Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Little Lucy!!!! You make your mommy and daddy so incredibly happy and proud. Thank you for all you have taught us this first year and filling our lives with so much happiness and love. We hope you know how special of a little girl you are!!
