Don't you feel like time begins to really really really fly after a baby turns ONE?
Ok. Well that's already happening here seeing that I am JUST now getting to my sweet baby's birthday post!
Lucy's BIG one fell on a Saturday this year which was great because Mimi and Mimzy could both celebrate with her on her special day! We had a small group of family and close friends to celebrate her day with us! A mermaid themed brunch!
Most of my friends know…I really love planning kids parties. I love themes! It's the teacher in me I suppose ;-)
So here we go with a few detail photos!
Treat bar
Had some of these guys swimming around
Photo booth!
A few activities - photo frames and a sea shell dig
Cupcakes and cake table
OK! On to the fun stuff!
BIRTHDAY GIRL!
The kids had a great time in the bounce house, playing outside and of course with the Piñata!
Photo Booth Fun!
Lucy's little lover boy…Yep, she's 6 months older…and he's bigger! Stud Muffin.
With her UNCS. One of her most favorite people!
And what would a first birthday be without a whole lot of messy messy messy cake?!
The kids LOVED their mermaid dolls I made them!
And SO many cute photo booth pics but those are coming in Thank you's but figured Mims would like this one!
HAPPY HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY SWEET LUCY GOOSE!
Dear Lucy,
Wow. I really don't know where your first year went. You are truly a blessing to our family and is that final little piece that made this crazy family complete! Your sparkly eyes light up the room and your chuckle brings laughter to everyone around you! You are ALL OVER THE PLACE and INTO EVERYTHING! You have become so independent - and literally make people completely hysterical seeing such a tiny little thing walking around all over doing her own thing! BUT, even with this independence are still so much more snuggly than either your brother or sister! You love toys, playing outside, and absolutely anything you can carry around - shopping bags, purses, little dolls. You aren't really too into TV because you are just too too busy! Your favorite foods are yogurt and bananas - you just can't get enough! You are quite the little chatterbox too! Always singing, yelling, whispering, mumbling - always talking! A few of your favorite words are Mama, Dado, Stop, THIS, down, up, nana (banana), dog. If you aren't walking around, climbing stairs or getting into mischief you are DANCING! You absolutely love your new gymnastics class and trying out all the skills of the week. You love the park but no longer love to swing. You are just now really really sleeping through the night - which is so great for mommy but also a sad reminder that you are no longer a baby. But sorry sweet Lucy - you may be a big girl now, but you will ALWAYS be my BABY! I know you are growing up but I just want you to stay little!!!! You love trying everything your brother or sister are doing and they love playing with you too! You are such a gift to this little family of ours and it's been so much fun this last year watching you grow! Happy first birthday Lucy - Love you so much!
PS - First birthday photos coming soon (I hope. LOL) My photography business is keeping my evenings full right now and for Lucy's photos - I just want that perfect light!
