Lily is 365 days old (and counting)!


My favorite niece, Lily turned a year old on April 3rd and my Mom (with only a little help from Chad) emailed me some great photos of the occassion! Enjoy!


I think Lauren must have made this delicious looking chocolate cake to celebrate the occassion.


Lily in her birthday finery in the den at home. I can't believe how big she is getting - even since we saw her in February!


Sean, Lil, and my Aunt Deniel. Deniel is one of the two aunts for whom I am named, in case any of you ever wondered where I got my middle name! Oh, and that's /de 'neel/, not /de ni' al/ for all you smarty pants out there who are chuckling about how "Denial" is my middle name! ;)


Lily digs into her presents!


I'm not sure if this is one of Lily's presents, but she sure seems to be enjoying this drum with a friend. She seems very interested in musical instruments and music. During our last family jam session (over Christmas) she joined right in with her rattle!


And finally, Lily discovers the best part about the whole birthday thing - eating the cake!! Do you think she liked it? I think she's definately got her Mom's sweet tooth, don't you?
