Lucy's 2 Year Pictures

My amazing niece, Holly, came to visit from Minnesota this summer, and while she was here I took advantage of her incredible photography skills to get some beautiful pictures of our precious baby girl.  Lucy is such a light in our life. Holly had to really work for the smiles and laughs, because Lucy doesn't just give those away for free. Holly managed to capture the joy Lucy brings us with her sweet and silly personality. Thank you!

Almost never without her Lion

Look at those curls!

Love that cheesy grin!

 Little Goofball!

We love you Lucy! You make our hearts smile!

Lily's 4th Birthday

Lily had a friend Minnie Mouse Birthday Party. My friend Mickelle was kind enough to lend me some cute decorations she had made for a birthday party for her kids the previous year and my sister-in-law Nicole took these pictures.

The kids made some bows and bowties when they first came in.

Then we played, "Pin the Bow on Minnie Mouse"

Next we played "Daisy, Daisy, Minnie" (duck, duck, goose)

Then we hit the Minnie Mouse Pinata!

Lily got lots of cute presents

Then we had her cupcakes. She was a little nervous about blowing out her candle and being the center of attention.

It was a fun party! There were like 16 kids there, but it was a success!

Lily wasn't done celebrating. She also had a Stoker party and a Malouf party and on the actual day we took her to Artic Circle for lunch, Kangaroo Zoo later, and Mcdonald's for dinner. 

We love our sweet little Lily. She is such a good big sister and a tender and loving daughter. We are so happy we were blessed to be your parents!
