Sugar and Spice and all that's Nice (and FISHING?)

It's your first birthday, Lilly,
One candle on your cake;
Proud parents stare in wonder
At each new move you make.
We join in celebration,
As this special date arrives,
For Lilly has brought pleasure
Into all our lives.
We look forward now to seeing
How you progress and grow,
From the cute and tiny infant
You were one year ago.
So dig into your icing;
Enjoy your presents, too.
The reason for this day
Is a special person--you!











This weekend we celebrated Lilly's first birthday at Lilly's favorite Aunt Ang & Uncle Kevin's house. We had great food, great friends, great cake and our man Rilley had some GREAT FISHING! Grandpa Briggs bought Rilley a Spiderman fishing pole and he was having a great time fishing in the kiddie/dog pool. Then Uncle Greg and Dad came back from fishing and brought their minnows, which ended up, you guessed it.... in the pool... so while Lilly was busy wallering in cake and opening presents, Rilley was catching some slabbers! Look out Grandpa Bill and Uncle Greg, you have some competition coming up... Rilley is a fishing machine.

The weather was perfect for the party and the kids and the adults had a great time eating way too much food and cake, Lilly enjoyed the cake the most though, as she had her own and she figured out that frosting is YUMMY! Lilly got some great presents including some new clothes, a new bathing suit, a fun walk behind toy to practice her running and a purse which included lipstick, and other fun toys... The purse ended up in Rilley's hands which was very concerning to the Grandpa's, Uncles, and Dad so Rilley went back to fishing...
