Lucy's 1st Birthday



Even though we're throwing Lucy's 1st birthday party on Saturday, we still wanted to celebrate on her actual birthday.  Todd & I both had to work on Monday so I woke Lucy up to get her ready for her morning at Grandma's and took her 12 month photos.  She was in a great mood right when she got up.

 



Still waking up but happy

 

Here's the birthday girl!

After I picked Lucy up from my mom in the early afternoon, we went on a short walk and then she took a nap to rest up for her big evening.   My parents were planning on coming over for dinner, presents, and cupcakes.

 After dinner, Lucy was ready to open presents

She had no problem ripping right into them...I think Christmas is going to be awesome this year!

Just a little spoiled with all those presents

 

At times, she was more excited about the wrapping paper than the present itself

Such a happy, sweet girl

 

Unwrapping more presents!

She loved this new puzzle

Singing happy birthday

You can't tell but she actually blew out the candle!  My mom had been teaching her and they'd been practicing for a few weeks 

Mmmmm....ice cream!

Trying to get every last drop

All in all, I'd say Lucy had a fantastic 1st birthday and we can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends this weekend!
