Momma can I fit in the gators mouth?

Nope we could not get them to all face us at the same time.

Yah! Presents!

Lovin' the bounce house!

Enjoying my cake!

Happy Birthday Miss Lilly!!

I can't believe it's been a year....a whole 365 days with Miss Lilly and we can't imagine what life was like before she joined our family. We started the day at the exact time she was born (yes we are symbolic) to begin cooking the pig for the festivities. Fitz dutifully got up and started the charcoal and pig soon after so it would be ready for the noon start time. We had a flurry of activity to finish getting ready and luckily my mom took Lilly to insure that she got a nap (which she did). At noon we waited for the guests (and guest of honor) to arrive so the fun could begin. We could not have asked for a better day or better friends to help us celebrate. We had old friends and new attending, and everyone had a great time. The kiddos enjoyed the bounce house, and the adults were just all so glad the warmth had finally arrived. Lilly got to enjoy a homemade vanilla cake with buttercream icing (as did the guests too). She enjoyed the frosting, but was not really into getting it all over herself. Then she did some present opening, and when she was tired of that, it was nap time again. She then rallied and opened more gifts, played with everyone who came and then settled in for a night of final four watching. The birthday festivities continued with a trip to the aquarium with our good friends who traveled from far away and lunch outside enjoying the weather. We want to thank everyone who made the trip to help us celebrate.....you all helped to make the day special for Lilly as well as us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
