Adam, Ali and Lillian: Hip Hip Hooray Little Lily Is ONE Today!

We can't believe it. Our little Lily bug turned one today. She has been such a joy to our family and entertains us all day long!. She started the day by tapping on Adam's shoulder while he was asleep and saying "Dada?" When he didn't respond she turned to me and said "Mama?" We sang her "Happy Birthday" in bed and began the day. Her birthday festivities started last weekend in Las Vegas and will continue throughout the next week so stay tuned for the rest of the party!

She has become a pro at present opening. Here she is with great-grandma Farres.

Testing out the wrapping paper.

Figured it out!

She had this serious look on her face the whole time she was opening the presents!

Her favorite! Books - and this one reads stories to her!

Happy Birthday!

Looks pretty good...

Tastes pretty good...

Thanks Mom!

Hey where did my cake go?

Give it back!!!

Ok, I'll take a stroller from Aunt Nicole instead.

I had really good intentions for Lily's first birthday, but when it came right down to it, a party with three people is just not worth a big to-do in my mind. I think I'll spend more effort when she can actually remember what's going on.

I did try to make a party hat for Lily to wear today, but this is as close as she let me get it to her head. Notice her ripping out her bow? Lovely little girl.
