Pictures? She Thinks Not!

Today Lauryn and I went to visit Lloyd's mom for a little while and then we were all going to go to get her one year pictures taken.  Lloyd's mom offered to have them done for us and I thought that was really sweet of her.  Lauryn was not up for it though.  We tried and tried and tried to get her to smile and all she wanted to do was put her finger in her nose :)  After she very dramatically threw her head back and squished up her face, I knew it wasn't going to happen.  The photographer gave us a few minutes to try to get her in a better mood but I know my little girl and she wasn't going to have it.  We're going to try again another day.

I can't believe on Monday my precious baby is going to be a year old!  We're having her party on Sunday and I'm excited for it and I can't wait to get it over with.  We tried to keep it small and still ended up with 22 people on the guest list.  I have no idea how we're going to fit that many people into our house!  Tomorrow my mom and I are going shopping for her gifts and to get all the food I'll need to prepare.  I'm making Lauryn's cake and we're buying a bakery cake for everyone else.  I've made a couple of practice cakes to try my hand at cake decorating and they've turned out pretty cute.  Lloyd doesn't mind one bit because he gets to eat them when I'm done :)

This is going to be one busy, busy week.  Shopping tomorrow, lots of cleaning to get ready for the party on Thursday, Friday is our 5th anniversary, Halloween on Saturday and Lauryn's party on Sunday.  Busy, busy!

Speaking of Halloween...I had already picked up a costume for Lauryn.  She's not going trick-or-treating but she's going to help pass out candy so she's has to dress up for it :)  Anyway, I had a cute little pumpkin outfit picked out because when I went back for the ladybug one, they were all sold out.  Well today I found an even cuter one, an adorable lamb, so I'm returning the pumpkin one tomorrow.  She's going to be the cutest lamb ever!  I will definitely post pics!!!
