Happy Birthday Leyton Lee

Like everything, LC celebrated her birthday in style.  In fact, she couldn't squeeze it all into one day, so she celebrated her birthweek!  She kicked things off with lots of beauty sleep.

 Then the cards and gifts started pouring in.  Her first birthday card (ever!) was from Grandpa and Grandma Barnett.

 So exciting!

 Next, we took our little pumpkin to a pumpkin patch.  Notice the LOVELY dead sunflowers in the background!

She got to bring a friend, her BFF Susannah.

Surprisingly, she didn't mind the scratchy hay.

"This one is a keeper, Dad."

She loved the 'Leyton-sized' pumpkins

This is the lucky pumpkin that we took home

She got some goodies from Gramma and Grampa!

We went to story-time and she wore the birthday hat (very briefly) while everyone sang 'Happy Birthday'

Now she's old enough to drive.  Thanks for the Scooter, Gramma and Grampa!

Finally, it was PARTY TIME!

Leyton was a beautiful butterfly!

All the kids were adorable!

Finally, CAKE!

Mommy worked hard on this silly thing.

'Don't take it away!  I'm not finished!'

Then it was time for toys!

There were so many toys she had to call in some back-up.

Thanks to everyone who helped make Leyton's day very special.  Although she managed to escape pictures, a big thanks to Aunt Hillary for spending the week with us and sharing her birthday with LC again.
Leyton, it's hard to believe it's already been a year, but it's been the best year of our life.  We love you baby girl!
