Almost 1


When we found out our due date was 11.4.09 last year, I secretly prayed that Lucy would be born before Halloween. Because Halloween is only the 2nd, almost tied to 1st, best Holiday ever.

Oh, the Halloween birthday parties we would have. Weren't we lucky that she came on 10.27? And now I'm planning her first birthday party and it is pretty exciting. And busy. I think I have photographed too many weddings. I keep reminding myself this is a one-year-old's birthday, not a wedding. But that hasn't stopped me from making a pinata (or at least buying the 36" balloon) to make the pinata.

I know it is kind of silly and she doesn't care and wont remember, but we have waited so very long for these firsts and want to enjoy them to the fullest. The theme, pumpkin patch. Doesn't Lucy make the cutest Pumpkin Fairy ever?

As a sidenote, I can't believe I bought her this girly, girly costume. I kind of love it, though.

Invitations were found at Rifle Paper Co. Cute, right?

Lucy's so photogenic! You've taught her well :) Cole and I are expecting a little girl in March, and I've been tempted to buy so many Halloween costumes already. I have a feeling Halloween is going to rock with a little one!
