It was her 1st birthday party!

I can't believe a whole year has passed since we welcomed little Lucy into our world.  She is such a little blessing.  She is goofy, smiley, laughs a lot, loves her brother and sister and most of all, she chases the cat around the house non-stop. Actually, as I write this, Lucy is trying to brush her big sisters hair, with the wrong end of the brush, but it is sweet none the less.

This weekend we celebrated several birthdays but most important to me was Lucy's first birthday.  Here a a few photos to share what the little celebration was like for everyone who couldn't make it, and anyone else who just wants to know!

Cookie Monster

If you don't know who this is, I'm not going to tell you. ;)

Singing happy birthday... cameras all around!

Her first bite of icing.

Her and her cousin looking surprisingly similar in the icing on face department.

Lucy's reaction to the fuzzy elmo card! She is laughing (screaming), not crying.

 Now the party is over.  Back to reality.  I don't have to think of all the extra grocery items and decorations for the party.  No more parties for several weeks.  I have celebrated Miriam's Birthday, my mother in-law's birthday, and Seth's birthday.  Last will be my husbands, but there won't be a big hoo-haa about that one (Thank goodness!) and our families birthdays will be over until mine at the end of December. YAY!  Now onto wedding season!
