CAKE! (or as Lily Kate says, "cck")

So, we had a little birthday party for Lily Kate, dinner and cake with friends. She absolutely loved playing with the other kids and the cake was a highlight. It was so great to celebrate the first year of her life with people who love her.

Presents! All for me?

My very own bracelet?

New riding Zebra from my Nona

I love this thing!

Helping dad rake the yard

here she is, all bundled up, looking kind of funny without her hair showing. The rustling of the leaves when Parks was raking was surprisingly a little scary to Lily Kate. Still, she has fun roaming free in the backyard.

Little Baller

Lily Kate found her new passion while she was visiting her family..... basketball. I'm not too sure there's a future there (with the height genes and all) but for now she's an all star!

Lily Kate and her aunt Becca. Only a couple more months and Kate will be a flower girl in her wedding..... oh, and if you put your finger over Becca's face you can see what Lily Kate looks like with long hair :)

Rainy Day Cutie

Lily Kate had a great week with her family, I'm not sure she even knew we were gone. She misses them now that she's home, she points to their pictures and tries to pull them off the bulliten board.

Parks and I had fun in FL at the YL conference

Okay, this is my favorite, look at this shirt that Aunt Becca gave Lily Kate, so funny.
