Lucy's First Easter

We woke Lucy up at the crack of dawn so that she could enjoy every moment of her first Easter. Yeah right--we would never wake her up early! Did you really believe me??


We filled her eggs with Lucky Charms, and it only took her a second to figure out that the colorful ones were delicious! After that discovery, she sat in a semi-zombie state, picking through her eggs until all of the marshmallows were gone.


It was kinda cute, and then it was kinda scary as the sugar high set in...


LL Crazy P


If she could talk, she would have shouted that Weebles are the bomb!!


We decided to go for a walk to diffuse some of the marshmallow crazies. It was a beautiful day! I put the exclamation because we have been wearing parkas and hats/gloves lately, not shorts. It felt great--like spring should.

Later on, Lucy got her party clothes on for dinner at Uncle Darrel and Aunt Jenn's house. Doesn't she clean up nice??

We had a delicious meal and a very fun day!

Birthday Partay!

After a year of fun and adventure, Lucy got to celebrate like crazy for her first birthday. She seemed to feel quite comfortable mingling and entertaining the guests. Here's a slice of our little sweet P's big day...


Showing Auntie Melita and cousin Vanessa how to drive. What a good hostess!


The Partay peeps



The Happy Birthday Song moment (aka: soaking up the attention). She's wearing a t-shirt from Grammie Penner--it was so cute we had to put it on STAT


Grammie, Duane and Lulu


We had to go outside and play in the rocks--her favorite new thing


I had to get a pic of the cake as I made it from scratch and put a little ladybug on top made of strawberries and olives. Don't call me Martha, but it was a proud culinary moment...


Present time! If you would, please look to the left and notice that cousin Audrey has Houdini-ed herself into the gift bag. Lucy cannot get enough of her hilarious cousin!!



Alright people, it's been fun but I need you to go home now so I can have my new loot to myself!
