This week, as we are literally enjoying a winter wonderland, we are invited to a one-derland Birthday party that I’m looking forward to!

On this your First Birthday, Lacey . . . I want you to know what a wonder it has been to watch you grow and learn! The process simply amazes me!

From helpless little babe to one discovering hands . . . learning to use them to pick up

. . . to point or to open cupboards

. . . to lift flaps and turn pages

or to copy older cousins.

From a little mind that communicated with silence or crying . . . now showing understanding with your smiles, giggles, nods and shakes.

From tiny wrinkled feet that now patter across the floor as you have learned to balance yourself and enjoy more freedom.

Dear Lacey Love . . .
You observe so much more than we imagine . . . and your eyes show it. They show love and delight for family, routines, being flipped, playing peek-a-boo, books, music and going for walks. We look forward to many more of these . . . along with shrieks of delight when you drive up our driveway. We wish you a very Happy Birthday!
Love, Papa and Grammy

What a beautiful little girl with eyes that sparkle. Your first picture just fits perfectly with her name, Lacey, and the 'wonderland/one-derland' theme. It's a great portrait. Don't you wonder what she'll grow up to be?
Sweet girl! Nothing like those "grands"!!
Thanks for sharing your Sweetie with us! Looking at those pics...she is a day-brightener...just like her Grammie!
Aw, so sweet! It truly is amazing to observe all the developments from helpless babe to one year old. Ours is 9 months old so we're excited about clapping and hugs at the moment. Have fun celebrating one-derland!
Yes, I am familiar with the Nate Saint and Jim Elliott story. We were so happy when the "End of the Spear" movie was in the theaters so that those who did not know about their commitment and sacrifice could "see" it!
Happy birthday, sweet Lacey! Enjoy learning many more new things this next year!
Oh a very happy 1st birthday to your beautiful Lacey!
What a lovely birthday blessing to your precious grandprincess. Happy Birthday Lacey - may you enjoy many visits with your Nana.
