Lily's Big Day

On Sunday we had Lily's dedication service and her 1st birthday party. It was such a wonderful day. She is adjusting so well and seems to love all the attention. She is doing much better going to other people now. I'm going to make up for having two picture-less posts in a row. I can take no credit for the following pictures. Denise (my former student) was our official photographer for the day and she did an amazing job. She really has a good eye and composed her shots nicely.

Below is the video from Lily's dedication service. (Thanks Kevin!)



Enjoy the pictures.

Julianne made Lily the cutest cake.
What would be more fitting for our Lilybug than a Ladybug cake?


Lily's first taste of cake. She LOVED it!

I'm ROFLOL at that red, red, red, icing all over that sweet baby!

Tell Mom she did a nice job keeping her composure, 'cause cleaning up a baby--during a party--always looks more fun in the pictures than it was in person.

At least that's my reality. Not proud about it; just truthful.

Happy birthday blessings to you all!
