Lyric's First Birthday!
How did it happen? How did my daughter go from this:
To this in just one short year??
Well she did. My daughter has grown into such a fantastic little girl. She really is extremely intelligent, she is funny, she loves to dance and adores music. Saying that she loves me is the biggest understatement of the century. It's hard to feel bad about yourself when your little girl prefers you above anyone and lights up when you walk in a room. I just love her!

Today was her birthday and her birthday party! We had a great time. Thanks to all who were able to join us!
Okay, here it goes!
First off, my favorite part of the party was the most awesome cake made by Mrs. Brittny Owens (formerly Boyer). This cake was AWESOME! She did such an amazing job and is so talented!
Everyone playing in the yard
Emily in her newly found walking ability! She was doing great! Yeah for walking kids!
Lyric and Dutch looking at something interesting, which obviously was not the camera
Dutch, Liz and Marian
Jon and Lyric dancing to the Disney music... I was going to download an Elmo CD, but forgot
Abby and Sophie
My beautiful niece Ashlyn
Poppy and Aunt CoCo
Jenae regulating the man love
We had chicken nuggets and french fries for lunch. We bought a frier for the fries and they were oh so good and crispy! Mom was the fry chef and made them all! Thanks for that!
Jodie and Abby
Josh, Kristina, Sophie and Marian
Joanna and Julia
Another shot of the lovely cake with the balloons that Ry-Ry and Tiff waited forever to get! Thanks guys! Y'all are great god-parents! :)
My daughter NOT sharing
Lyric did love the balloons though
Uncle Ry-Ry
Uncle Austin loves his Juice Box!
Uncle Landon who took time out of his Bachelor party day to attend the Elmo party!
Lyric's presents!
Opening the koala that Tiff gave her. That was a memento from Tiff's childhood that she passed on to Lyric! :)
Reading a nice card
Opening mommy and daddy's present to her, an Elmo laptop!
Kisses and hugs to Truth for her present
Christina takes watching opening presents very seriously
Her Elmo chair from her cousins!

Brad and Abby
Looking at that cake like, "You want me to eat Elmo?"
Party Girls!
Uncle Jon accidentally wounded Korb with the hat :)
Kristina thought the party was fantastic... I swear.
Time to cut the cake... poor Elmo
Abby and the birthday girl
We made him wear the hat
Birthday parties tire Judah out. He totally fell asleep like that :)
And now the best part. Lyric has never had more than a few bites of cake before, so here she goes.
BEFORE
Then she was like, hmmm, this is pretty good
Then she went to town! It was in her hair, face, ears, nose, EVERYWHERE!
Then it was clean up time in the sink!
So that was the fabulous party! We had a lot of fun and Lyric loves all her gifts and loved hanging out with her friends. She really does think she's like 5, so being around kids makes her so happy. Even if we have trouble sharing :)
We cleaned up and then headed home. All the guys left the party a little early to begin Landon's bachelor party.
Tiff came over and I cleaned up the house a little, Lyric napped and then I went to dinner with Holly and her bridesmaids and a few other people to celebrate Holly's bachelorette party. We went to Cheesecake Factory... YUM! I needed to get back, so I didn't finish the evening with them, but they are going to have a blast!
Tiff babysat Lyric for me this evening and they had a lot of fun. Lyric loves her Aunt Tiff!
Well now I'm exhausted. I'm going to skip out on church tomorrow because I need an actual day of rest since my day has been GOING, GOING, GOING!
Tomorrow we have family pictures and I need to decide what the Vandeputs are going to wear.
Well that's that.
Love to ALL!
