Trudy turns ONE!!!

It only seems like yesterday that I found out I was having Lenny and Faye and now Trudy, our sweet, little surprise has turned one. It's been a great year. Crazy, yes. Occasionally overwhelming, sure. But fabulous, never-ever gonna be sorry we did it, fantastic!

Two days before the big day. Another cool August day (seriously, what city do I live in?). And Faye wore pants! I know, after over a year of "I'm-not-waring-anything-that-isn't-some-sort-of-skirt" she wore pants. I was floored!





Lenny still loving his pirate sword.










Our soon to be one year old!










She's ONE!!!!! Isn't she sweet when she wakes up from her nap? She's so happy!









Lenny and Trudy spent most of the day just chilling.









Faye did A LOT of interpretive dance. She gets this from her uncles.









Sweet little baby!










The big 1!










Daddy comes home and it's time for cupcakes and singing "Happy Birthday!!!!"






Yummy!!!!!







"Want to share?"








Lenny and Faye enjoy the frosting mostly.





On Sunday we had Trudy's party at the forest preserve by our house. This is her Uncle John, the grill master!





Aunties Paula and Cory.







Lots of Nichins.








Ed, who made it all possible!










Uncle Arnold, Auntie Lora, Uncle Ken, Uncle Jimmy and Auntie Fleurette. These are the uncles of interpretive dance.





Uncle Joel, Uncle Jim (of ring-around-the-rosie fame) and Aunt Elaine.






Harry, Gabby and Faye play bags.







The birthday girl's chair.










Faye demonstrates her bubble blowing prowess.










My princess!










The birthday girl, crown and all, blows out the candle (with some help from mommy).






My grandparents and Grandpa Boyle.







The spread.





Ed, the cake cutting machine!







Trudy, before the destruction begins.







She does love that cake!







Delicious!!!!







Faye tries the crown out that evening at home.











So it was a fabulous day, we all survived and I no longer have an infant in my house, just three terrific toddlers!!!!!
