Lucy's big day!

I've been dreading Lucy's first birthday for about a year now. I just want her to stay my little baby! But she does get more and more fun and even cuter, too! I didn't think that was even possible. She is bursting with personality and so happy nearly all the time. We were in St. George for her big day. We traveled down to attend Bryson's homecoming and Blake's farewell (during the same meeting). Here she is playing in the recyle basket... her favorite activity at Grandma's house. 

 And lucky Lucy got a massage from Dad. She loved it and had a grin on her face the whole time (nearly 10 minutes). She know a good thing when she's got it!

  The family all went to our favorite taco place for dinner. It was exciting to see Bryson for the first time after returning home from his mission. He hadn't met Lucy yet, of course. Lucy fell asleep on the way home from dinner and it took a while to get the party started. But once she woke up, she was pretty happy with all of her presents.

 New baby doll.

 Nolan can't resist a little Lucy love.

 She had several boys willing to help her blow out her candle.

  A little unsure of the cake at first, but then happily dug in.

 Blake (leaving soon for Argentina) and Bryson (just home from Mexico). Nolan really loves his cousins!

 She pretty much slicked it up!

 I love her on her teenie tippy toes.

 The girls in my family. Always good to be together!

Earlier that day, I did a little casual 1 yr. old photo shoot. She has some pretty cute facial expressions.Happy birthday, Lucy Anna!
