Lucy Turns Three

Winter is over, Spring has arrived! These were the words spoken over Lucy on the day that she was dedicated in Church.  She really is our spring.  Our Crocus, that pushes up through the snow, to let us know that Hope is here.  She is named for Lucy of Narnia. Faithful, hopeful, and believing. I pray that it is true. 
Her Tantie, Erica, made the cake, pink of course. 



This was Lucy's first real birthday party!  I don't know who was more excited about it, her or me. Lucy has been planning it since July, anything Princess she has wanted to buy for her party.  She has had the menu planned for some time: Pizza (from Romas), Chips, Apples, Pink Cake, Ice Cream and Pink Lemonade. 

Sam was excited too as most of Lucy's friends have older siblings that he plays with.  He made me promise that I wouldn't make him play any "pink girly" games, like pin the head on the Princess.  Sam's crew hung out in the basement. 

I was really pleased how the Party Room turned out.  I wish that I had a close up picture of the table cloth, I wrapped the table in brown paper and then painted hearts, flowers and other shapes on it.  I also used wrapping paper as a runner. As for the pink flowers hanging from overhead, I have been looking for an excuse to buy them for sometime!
We are so blessed to have a best friend, Darrell, who is an amazing Photographer.  These are just a few of the pictures that he took.
