Lily 's First Birthday!

Wow, Lily is one. How has it possibly been a year since she was born? It has gone by so fast. She is cuter than ever (of course, how could I not say that?), and had a very fun birthday party with her Nanna here last weekend. My uncle Will and some friends of our with their little girl also came to celebrate.

Lily was so excited about her first gift (a balloon) that it was hard to convince her to open any of the rest of her presents.

But she enjoyed all of them, especially the baby remote control from her Nanna,

the music set from our friends Brayden and Brianna,

and the stuffed kitty.

She also enjoyed her birthday cake, which was really sugar-free blueberry banana bread in cupcake form with cream cheese frosting.

And then she was on a sugar high for the next two hours and ran in circles around the kitchen like a half-naked balloon-toting maniac, squeeling at the top of her lungs. Definitely worth it.

And finally, here is Lily with her Nanna, wearing the Christmas dress I made for her birthday.

Happy birthday Lily! It has been a wonderful year and we love you!!
