Happy Birthday!

My sweet baby girl is 1 year old! We had a birthday party for her on Saturday (the day after her b-day).  We decided we didn't want it to be out of control so we made it a small family party with only about 35 or so people in attendance.  The party was in our newly awesome backyard and was a lot of fun.  We had food, and cake, and balloons, and big bouncy balls, and lots of visiting!  I didn't really take any pictures during the party, but here are a few that the amazing Beth took before it started:

 

We love you Lucille! Happy Birthday!

Happy Anniversary

I'm a little behind on posting, but on June 12th we had our 1 year anniversary! Crazy how the time just flies by! We celebrated the day before, on Saturday, by going to this movie:

and eating at this restaurant:

(with only a brief intermission between the two to run back to my mom's to feed lucy)

The movie was enjoyable (I think I enjoyed it more than Robert) and dinner was delicious. We both got a salad which was followed by a scoop of raspberry sherbet (or sorbet) to cleanse our pallet. Fancy! Then we had our main course which was steak and mini potatoes for me, and meatloaf and mashed potatoes for Robert. They also gave us a bowl of cooked carrots to share. Yum! After dinner we came back home and partook of this:

The top of our wedding cake that had been frozen all year. Which was actually still quite delicious.

I couldn't have asked for a more amazing year, I am so grateful for Robert and the wonderful man that he is. I'm also loving this little family that we have started, and am looking forward to another great year!
