Happy birthday Lucy Jo!

Oh Lucy, the last three years have been the best. I love you with all my heart! Everything from your vibrant personality to all your drama. You were the best thing that had ever happened to us. Thank you for being you!

Lucy's Party

We have been birthday partying all week over here. Lucy had her first real birthday party. It was a princess party and she had so much fun!

We did 3 activities. First they decorated magic wands with glitter glue, stickers and pom poms.

Lucy and great grandma Stout.

Next, they had a royal ball. Before the party we tied ribbon onto shower curtain rings. They danced around with them to princess music.

Finally, they made homemade candy necklaces with fruitloops and gummy lifesavers.

Lucy was so excited to open presents. Her friends were so generous!

We finished off with cake and ice cream. The cake was incredible! A friend of mine from high school made it for us, and she's so dang talented!

Lucy and Ellie BFFs!

We forgot to take a group picture before Lucy's friend Larkyn left, but here are the rest of the party-goers.

It was such a fun party! So fun that Lucy couldn't nap in the afternoon. :)

And here is Lylah eating her cake. The top layer of the cake came off for her to eat. She was so excited!

Happy birthday Miss Lylah!

She was super confused today about why everyone kept calling and singing happy birthday to her. But she was such a happy camper getting spoiled and doing all her favorite things.

And the ice cream parlor after dinner! She snarfed down her ice cream cone, then spent the rest of the time doing puppy eyes at daddy and getting his. :)

Love this little friend! (see more from their birthday session on my photography blog)

I found this fun idea on pinterest and loved it! A little about Lylah Grace:
