Happy Birthday Lydia!

Our birthday celebration started bright and early! The girls were digging in to the birthday loot while they were still in their pjs!





Julianna loved the new things as much as her little sister did!

Here's the birthday girl playing with her new caterpillar....



After a little morning nap/rest time, we headed out to the park. On our way we stopped to "ride the toys"


I wish you could see these sisters together - they have the sweetest relationship. Julianna has truly delighted in her sister today and it's been so fun to watch her love on Lydia. I bet she has sung the birthday song ten times!



After the park, it was time to head home for lunch and cupcakes. Lydia did much better today (her first cupcake experience two days ago was a bit of a bust!). But, at the beginning, she still had a bit of a "what is this thing??" kind of expression on her face.


It took a minute, but once she got the hang of cupcake-eating, she was all smiles!


the perfect end to a birthday lunch: a fistful of cupcake

Happy 1st Birthday Lydia! We love you!

Happy Birthday Lydia,

wonderful looking girl on your first birthday with an absolutely great older sister. Loved the photos and especially yesterday's opening the box and today's cupcake eating.

Happy FIRST Birthday, Lydia (and Mommy and Daddy too!).

What a cutie-pie she is! I love seeing her and Julianna together...it so reminds me of my two girls when they were young! Sweet!
