Lucy's First Birthday Party


Well, I'm a little behind on this post, but better late than never, right?  Here are some highlights from Lucy's first birthday party in June.

We reserved a couple of picnic tables in Golden Gate Park next to the Koret Children's Quarter and carousel. While San Francisco's weather can be hit-or-miss in June (especially in that neighborhood), we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day that was free from fog and drizzle.





In perfect accordance with Murphy's Law, Lucy skipped her morning nap and was exhausted by the time we arrived at the park.  So she spent the first half of the party asleep in the Ergobaby...


... which gave me some time to say hello and catch up with our guests.

Cousins Henry, Alex, and Chris

Newlyweds Anthony and Allison

Cousins Ashley and Bri

Papa C with Leanna and Laura, all the way from Hawaii!

John, Toni, and adorable baby Rhodes

Lucy's daycare owner, Mirna, and her family

Dad!

Lucy and JJ
Chatting with Delaney

Like any party, the best part was cake time! At first Lucy wasn't sure what to do, but after some encouragement and demonstrating of proper cake-eating technique, she settled into the gig like a pro.















She also scored some great gifts.







Once home, she broke in her new toys and enjoyed a Smith's cookie from Bakersfield...




... while Dad and Uncle Frankie enjoyed some tequila.


All in all it was a wonderful, memorable day.  Thanks to everyone who joined us in celebrating this most excellent and amazing year!!!
