Larsyn is ONE!

One year ago today, on my actual due date God blessed us with exactly what our family needed. An 8lb 15oz sweet, loving, quiet (quite the opposite from her sister), perfect little princess. This past year has been a learning curve for me to say the least. I kinda thought I had motherhood all figured out, but mommy to two is a whole different ballgame! This was my first year as a stay at home mom, and I honestly thought I would be conquering the world...well that didn't happen...but I am so thankful for the opportunity that God has given our family for me to stay home with our girls. We are truly blessed! Ok, back to Larsyn turning ONE! Sweet little L LOVES minnie and mickey so we thought it was only fitting to have that as our themed birthday party. Our amazing and talented daddy went to work on the door sign (he doesn't see the importance of this, but he humors me). He also made a big ONE for the table...he is so crafty!
Here are few more pics of the decorations and such for the Minnie and Mickey birthday bash at Pawpaw and Gigi's clubhouse!
Larsyn's special day started with an abundance of gifts from family and friends. I can't tell you how much each of you mean to us! She is SO spoiled, but we are very grateful you love our family and invest in our lives. Here are some pics of the 1 yr old (so crazy she is already ONE!) opening her gifts, some of them are kinda blurry...I was not on picture duty, but I am not pointing any fingers, daddy! (She liked the tissue paper the best).
Thank you to EVERYONE who made our sweet Larsyn's FIRST birthday so special. We treasure each of you!
After presents, it was cake time of course! I can't speak highly enough of Uptown Bakery in Edmond. If you live here, seriously check them out...AND if your little one is turning ONE, your smash cake is FREE! Larsyn was not too excited about the cake, we don't eat a lot of sugar at our house, so it was WAY too sweet for her...but we did get a few good pics!
And after cake it was swim time! Larsyn took a little dip in the pool with Daddy, doesn't it just make your heart melt to see a daddy with his daughter (in our case daughterS). It is such a special bond, and the girls are so lucky to call this man daddy!
Larsyn had her ONE year pics taken by Brittney Lynn Photography in Choctaw (check her out, she did great!), but I don't have the pics just yet, but I took a few pics in our front yard...not too shabby if you ask me...
I can't imagine what God has planned for this sweet girl, but I know it is nothing short of amazing. She is such a ray of sunshine and her laugh and smile are so contagious! Happy Birthday Larsyn Lane, we love you so much! Love, Mommy
