Lillian's FIRST Birthday!!!!




Well, on July 6th we celebrated my Lilly's first birthday!!!! I cannot believe she is one. How does time go so fast? We had a party for her at my in-laws home who so generously let us invade!! I wanted to tell everyone who came, thank you so much. I can't tell you what it meant to me to have you all come & celebrate our little girl with us!!! It is so wonderful to have friends like all of you. I (we) feel so very blessed. Love to you all, thank you so much!!! My Lilly was not bashful when it came to digging into the cake, although she wouldn't get both hands in it for a while. Eventually, she decided it was way more effective to use both hands!!!! I made her cake, (shout out to Laurel for her cake tips-thank you) it was quite the undertaking. I need practice, I'll leave it at that!!! The next day (her actual b-day) the Seria's came over and we celebrated again!!! I am also going to include some videos that I neglected to put up earlier that I think are hysterical. Oh, and the first video with Lil's digging into the cake is sideways-but it is so good I posted it anyways!!! We missed having my family there as always. Being far away is hard, but they were there in spirit. Miss and love you all!!! Thank you all again for everything!!!!!

Oh my gosh those pictures and videos are so cute. That one of Lilly spitting water made me laugh so hard. Zoe was watching the videos with me but I wouldn't let her watch that one. I don't want her to get any ideas! I'm sorry we missed the party. It looks like you guys had a great time!
