1st Birthday!!!

Wow, its hard to believe that Izzy has turned a year old!  We have had a busy couple of days.  First Izzy got sick this week for the first time ever (she is now getting better).  Second, Zac's dad, Joe, and his family (wife and 2 daughters) came to visit.  We picked them up Thursday night during the snow storm!!!!  Crazy we got snow on Izzy's actual birthday.  Its only the 2nd time in my life that I have seen snow like that.  We woke up Friday morning to almost 5 inches on the ground!  It was beautiful! 

Then Saturday, the birthday party.  We tried to keep it somewhat small, only family and a few close friends.  It was hard to pick out pictures to post but here are a few.

The invasion of the lady bugs, they led everyone to the door.

Preparing for the party, Izzy had to get upclose to the lady bugs.

As you can see, the outfit inspired the party.

The cake

This picture cracks me up because she pulled the money out of the envelope and was so excited like she knew exactly what it was.  She was waving it around showing everyone.

Books, books and books.  She got a ton of books, which we loved!  The more the merrier!  Also, see the precious rocker, it was mine when I was little and my grandmother and her husband refinished it and made a lady bug cushion.  She immediately starting rocking in it when we sat her in it.

Izzy and her first cake.  Yes, it has no icing but she loved it anyway.  She ate about half of it.

Our family!
