Lucy's 1st Birthday!

What a difference a year makes! It was such a joy to celebrate Lucy's 1st birthday today! It was both a great celebration of God's hand of protection last year when I was on bed rest, in the hospital and having a c-section as well as a great celebration of this great first year of Lucy's life. We started the day off with bagels at our favorite bagel shop (Cuppertino's NY Bagel and Deli for all you Richmonders who need a good bagel shop!). The lady who works there gave Lucy a cookie when we told her it was her birthday - Lucy loved it! After that, B went to school, daddy went to work and O, L and I came home for naptime and kindergarten! Both sets of grandparents arrived mid-nap and were here to greet Lucy when she awoke. Matt and B came home around 11:30 and we spent the rest of the day together enjoying our sweet girl. Instead of cake we did brownies which were much more anti-climatic and clean (though they were shaped like cute mittens for our winter baby) but she did enjoy a few bites. Gifts and baloons were also featured events. We are so grateful for the sweet girl she is and look forward to what this next year holds! We love you Lucy Grace!
