LIZZY is officially ONE!

Here are the hightlights of Lizzy's DAY!
We woke Lizzy up with balloons and singing!






She had lots of help opening presents before the children left for school.




She finally could play peacefully while the children were gone.








She loves the backyard sand pit.






I bought a tank of helium so that we could have floating balloons for the big day. This is the awesome birthday sign that Vallen and I made.







This the chocolate and vanilla ice cream cone cake. We found it delicious and left it gone.





Mike is instructing Lizzy on the finer points of candle blowing without using finger snuffing.





She didn't get it, but Mike grabbed her finger and James blew out the candle!







Lizzy loved her cake.







I'm glad the day was relatively successful and it is soon over.





The best present award goes to the make your own fort. I gave it to Lizzy so that everyone would get to play with it and I would not ever hear - "it's mine, you can't play with it." I just say, "It's Lizzy's and she shares with everyone."

I don't know why there is so much space between the pictures. Gurus Jason and Stef, how can I get the post to be more condensed?

Wow.....GO Marti!! You blog like a pro!! Pictures, text....everything! Loved it. Your kids are getting SO BIG!! I can't believe it. Vallen looks more like a young woman and James looks like a young man. Grace still has that toddler look (thankfully) and Lizzy is still the baby!! YES!!!!

I stole the cake idea from the internet, so you can still it from me. But don't forget the pirate ship cake from last year. Does Nathan like pirates, argggg?
