Lynlee Noelle Turns One!

Well we survived another first year in the Skains house! And this one came with tears in my eyes. This little baby girl is such a treasure and just such a sweet girl, and to reach that one year mark is bitter sweet. Another year that flew by. But we sure enjoyed celebrating this sweet girl. Her actual day was spent traveling home from vacation, but we celebrated together the following day!







Here are her first year pictures we had taken while on vacation.





Like I said her actual day was spent driving home from Florida, so I had to snap a few pictures of her!!

Here she is opening her one of her presents for the drive home. Still in Florida.
 Now she's in Mississippi!
 And another stop in Louisiana!
The next day at home we were able to celebrate our sweet one year old! She had so much fun with her first little cake. She was very interested and very serious about it! It took a lot for us to get a smile from her. She was just so serious!




 Present time! Again, she was so serious about opening presents. Not much emotion from her, just really interested in her new things. It was pretty funny!

The sibling picture after she opened her present from them.
 A little overwhelmed with all these presents.



 This was right before she grabbed for that candle!
 Love this sweet birthday girl. She just looks so grown up in this picture. But she is STILL my little tiny baby!


Oh my sweet Lynlee Noelle. You truly truly bring so much joy to this family. Your smile is contagious, you are the sweetest cuddler, your giggle makes us all giggle and our family is better because you are in it. I adore you sweet girl. You are such a gift to me and I thank God that He blessed us with you, sweet baby girl. You are one of my greatest earthly treasures. I pray daily for you, that God would create in you a pure heart, that you would choose to trust Him and spend your life being a light in an incredibly dark world while following whole heartedly after your Creator. You are precious Lynlee and I love you more than I have words to say. Happy 1st Birthday baby girl!

Happy Birthday to Jeffrey

And keeping with the birthday theme... it was soon time to celebrate Jeff's birthday. We were in Florida on vacation for his birthday so he was in his happy place. (blogging about vacation may be awhile!).

 So yes, we spent the entire day at the beach.  Which is just what he wanted. I even managed to get Lynlee to nap for an hour while we were there.





We had a little family celebration in our condo that night. Tacos and ice cream on the menu, and presents!


We love you Jeffrey! Happy happy birthday to you!
