Zachary Turns 1 Year Old!

Guess what?! I turned one today!!!

Turning one is tiring!

While I was sleeping, Mommy and Lizzy made me a cake!

Lizzy was so excited to help for her brother's birthday!

This was a lot of fun, thanks!

Lizzy enjoyed playing with the little toy trucks she gave me!

Our Day:

Today we celebrated Zachary's first birthday. Lizzy and Mommy made an apple swirl cake for him last night and frosted it with cream cheese frosting today. Lizzy has not stopped talking about cake since yesterday, she has been waiting so long! We enjoyed licking the leftover frosting off the spoons while Zach took a nap. Lizzy also picked out a present for her brother and we put two of the little cars on his cake. Then when Daddy got home, we picked up the living room and Lizzy was so excited to help. Finally we wrapped her present! When Zach woke up the kids had fun running through the play tunnels and Lizzy was so happy to tell her brother that she got a present for him!! We had homemade chicken nuggies, sweet potato fries and broccoli for dinner and finally the cake! Zachy had fun mostly watching Lizzy open his presents and then playing with his cars. I think his favorite was the bows from the presents though! We are so happy to have our little Zachy!!!

My 1st Birthday!

Lizzy is one year old! I can't believe it, time goes by so fast! I was so glad that we could celebrate on her actual birthday too since Keith had his class cancelled for the evening.

We had a small little barbeque in our front yard with a few neighbors and Keith's sister and her kids. It was fun. Lizzy had a ball in her ball pit while the neighborhood girls shared their dolls and bracelets with her.

And even though I was nervous, my first attempt at a birthday cake didn't turn out too bad. I think she liked the cake too, but she enjoyed her dinner even better and was a little full.

She enjoyed all the help she got unwrapping presents and loved playing with them when things settled down.

And after it was all over, she was tired out. But it was a fun day! Now she is enjoying being one and everything that it brings. She is growing up before my eyes.
