Lily's 1st Birthday: Part 1

We started out Lily's birthday with a special breakfast.  Pancakes!  She had never had them before and just loved them.

Next up, we got things ready for her party.  Lily liked the balloons!

Then it was time for a bath before the celebration started.

Our good friends, the Carsons and the Kennedys came over. Lily had lots of fun playing with her friends.....

And she had to at least try to keep up with the rambunctious boys, Joel and Tyler

Our sweet friends, Philip & Erin, made these beautiful cakes for us.  Not only were they gorgeous but they were SO GOOD!  Justin says it was the best cake he's ever had.

And lastly, it was time to open presents....

What a wonderful & special day it was!  We made lots of lasting memories and remembered how amazing this day was just one year ago.  We love you, birthday girl!
