Lilys 1st Birthday!

Well the month of April so far has been busy but great! April 3rd was Lilys 1st birthday and to celebrate it we decided to go to visit Brandens family in St. George. At the same time Brandens dad had come to visit from California and most of the family hasn't seen him in years so everyone was there. We rented a van and picked up the boys in Spanish Fork and Lily and I had a little visit with my sister Arielle and her family. We then drove the rest of the way to St. George, which seemed to take forever, and had a nice little rest before we all went out to dinner with Brandens dad and his friend. It was nice to finally meet him and to get to be with everyone. On saturday I spent 6 hours making Lilys birthday cake with some help from my sister inlaw and my other sister inlaw and her friend decorated for the party. The party was great, Lily loved her cake so much so that she devoured it and became a green cake baby, after being rinsed off in the shower she opened her presents which she loved and headed straight to bed as she was exhausted! We came home the next day very sad to leave nanas but very glad to be back in our own home. The next sunday was Easter and Lily was able to celebrate this one since she was not a few days old like last year. She got a cute bunny, some bubbles, just a little candy, and she loved it all. Daddy then went out of town for a few days which left us locked in the house with bad weather but it has since then been just beautiful here and we are loving it. Oh yeah while daddy was out of town at a convention for work he won us a Nintendo Wii through a raffle, we are very excited becasue we have always wanted one but we didn't want to pay $250 for it. So this has been our month so far and we couldn't be having more fun. Thank you nana for letting us stay with you and for helping with the party, and thank you to everyone that gave Lily a present, was there ever a more loved or spoiled baby?
