Lillian's First Birthday!

I'm a little behind in my posts.  Right after we got home from our Gatlinburg trip Lillian started walking.  Yep, at 10 1/2 months she was up and moving pretty quickly!  A little clumsey at first, but she has become a pro pretty fast.  So, Tony and I have been chasing her around and making sure that we are as baby proofed as possible here at the house.  Life is busy and fun right now and Lillian is so much fun to watch as she learns new things.  She transitioned classes at day care too, so there have been lots of changes since February! 

There were literally hundreds of pictures taken at Lillian's birthday party, but here a few of my favorites!

We are so grateful for the wonderful family and friends who could join us on Lillian's special day!  It was a wonderful time. She was great the entire time and after it was all over, she took a very long and much needed nap!  Happy Birthday to our precious little girl:)

Gatlinburg Trip

Well, we made it to Gatlinburg safely.  It was a pretty long distance to travel with a 10 month old little one!!  She did great.  We had a blast and Lillian saw snow for the first time.  Great family vacation:)

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Well, I am super late posting these pictures.  This Christmas was amazing with Lillian.  Her first Christmas went perfectly.  She was a joy to watch Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.  There's not anything much better than watching a child on Christmas Day.  I can't wait to talk to her about the real meaning of Christmas!

This Christmas we started by celebrating Christmas Eve Eve witht the Gunter's.  We had a great time at Paula and Corey's enjoying dinner and gifts!  Cami and Cade had a little cousin to play with and seemed to enjoy spending time with Lillian.  We enjoyed seeing everyone as well. 

Another difference in this Christmas from the past 30 I've had, was that I wasn't at my parent's house on Christmas day.  They did come to our home for brunch and our Christmas dinner.  We had a blast.  My brother came to open gifts with his girlfriend, Nicole, and her daughter, Elisa.  They made it over the day after Christmas and we had a great time catching up and celebrating together. 

What an amazing holiday season!
