Lucy's First Birthday

LBeau and I traveled to Harrison, Arkansas, this past weekend to celebrate Lucy's first birthday with Lucy, Ben and Claire and Claire's family.  Lucy turned one on Friday, but we saved the party for Saturday, which was also Claire's brother Adam's 19th birthday.

Claire spent Saturday morning making birthday cakes—a pistachio cake for the adults, a banana "smash" cake for Lucy and a brownie cake for Adam.

Claire's sister Caroline helped Claire choose photos from each month of Lucy's first year.  These were mounted and hung on the dining room chandelier.

After lunch it was time to celebrate.  Lucy briefly donned the Party Princess hat.

But Adam absolutely refused to wear it.

Lucy got lots of cute clothes, including these cool new shoes.

But the most fun was eating the "smash" cake…

Good Morning Kathy Sweetie...
A beautiful share of Lucy's birthday. I love her little snazzy shoes. How sweet they are. She looks so cute smashing her cake and what an amazing job was done making these cakes.

I love the idea of the photos hanging from the chandie. That is SO cute. A wonderful way to share.

Happy 1st birthday Lucy sweetie. You sure are a cutie. Thanks for sharing her celebration with me this morning. I loved the party.

Many hugs and much love, Sherry
