Celebrating Lu's First!

I'm 1! 

A little card from Karen and Eric Tscharner that i liked:

"for a sweet girl who's 1!

Your very first year's been a wonderful one...

you've brought grins and giggles and oodles of fun!

so make any wish in your sweet little heart,

blow out that candle and let the fun start!

Happy 1st Birthday!'

No doubt it has been a wonderful one and her celebration was the same...
hmmmm I'm gonna keep on rhyming and hopefully it won't be lame.

The celebration started out with family cuddles, oh our sweet Lu.

The day continued and we loved on her through and through

Onto the evening to celebrate at an italian eatery

with my family, the huffs, at a place called pas-qui-ni

We drank wine and toasted to our little girl

Pizza, gifts and a special hat to wear with her hair full of curl

Friday grammy helped prepare for the big par-tay

crafting, cutting, taping, for Lubird's special birth-day!

Saturday's sky was blue and the sun shone bright

a beautiful day to celebrate our Lucia, our Light, 

A pinata, painting station, cocktails, and cupcakes

Kids, old and young seemed to enjoy and partake

We will ALWAYS remember our Little Lu's special day

she tasted cake, and felt the love in a HUGE, HUGE way!

Thank you family and friends for sharing your light with our light! 

We love you, she loves you, it was all perfect - day and night!

now for some pics! lots of pics!
