Lydia's 1st Birthday

Lydia's 1st birthday fell on the wednesday that we were in California. We were planning on going to Sea World and the beach that day but Will and Gabby woke up with a fever and we thought we would give them some down time. We were staying at Rich's house (Benj's brother). Amy, Rich's wife was so sweet to make it a special birthday for Lydia. She blew up balloons, gave her a gift, and even decorated Lydia's little seat!

We started off the celebrations with balloon fights!

Will and Gabby were feeling pretty good by then but still needed to rest!


You're never too sick to have cake and ice cream, right?

Amy had music playing and her kids sure knew how to shake it!

Benj was doing his own zumba moves!

Don't you love how Amy decorated her chair? So cute!

Of course, I have to show off the cake I made for Lydia

Lydia was not afraid to dig into that cake. Will and Gabby didn't get into it nearly as much as Lydia. She was all about eating every last crumb!

Gotta love the hat!

Washing off in the sink!

Nice and warm!

Amy and Rich gave Lydia an adorable red sweater and cute silver shoes!

We got her a vibrating elephant that plays music. She loved it!

We were so grateful to Rich and Amy for making Lydia's birthday so fun! I sure do love my Pretty Lyddie! She's a momma's girl all the way and has such a sweet little personality!
