Lucy's Second 1st Birthday Celebration

Lucy Mae turned ONE in November....but due to that nasty stomach bug we all caught, her celebration with friends was re-scheduled to a few weeks later at the beginning of December. We had a really fun night celebrating Lucy and celebrating good friends.
Lucy and just a few of the many many shots taken trying to get a smiling picture.
(please note the cupcake dress... we were very cupcake themed this party).

The decorations! I was super lucky when a really good friend lent me a whole bunch of her cupcake decorations to use (including the giant cupcake seen above). Then I had such fun making Lucy's banner and lots of little cupcakes for the kitchen cupboards. We were cupcake central for a few weeks after the party.
We are so blessed to have so many wonderful and good friends for Lucy, and for us (the grown-ups).
The menu: chicken wings (provided by Costco), and then homemade: cornbread, macaroni and cheese, salad with pecans, craisins, & apples, and...a must for any child birthday-- mini-hot dogs. Personalized "Happy Birthday Lucy" water bottles and capri-suns.
And..of course, the cake!!

I blame the iphone

So I blame my iphone for lack of posts lately. I used to post in large part as a way to let grandparents see the cuteness of the girls...but now, I simply click one button and movies and pictures are sent instantly their way. I'm trying to find a balance.

But, speaking of cuteness...well, maybe more like random cuteness. Tonight Abigail was sitting on my lap during a Christmas concert I took her to. She was eating some fruit snacks when I looked down to a pile of all the purple fruit snacks in a pile. She told me she always saves those ones for very last.

Funny girl.
