We had a busy weekend, and thus, several pictures to post!
Friday was my birthday...my first birthday as a Mom. It felt different because I'm definitely not #1 anymore. But it was also really special to be able to celebrate with my daughter.
My parents came up and spent the afternoon with Lily and me. We went shopping at the Wilton tent sale and went out to lunch. After Matt got home from work we had a nice relaxing evening at home. All in all, a great day.
On Saturday we went to Michael & Laura's wedding in Chicago. Michael is a friend from high school, so several of my other high school friends, their parents, and my parents were there. Matt and I stayed the night in Chicago so Lily had her first sleepover at Nana & Grandpa's house. It was a big production to get Lily and ourselves ready, packed, and out the door, but we managed and actually made it everywhere on time.

and the husbands
The reception was at The Congress Plaza hotel, which was beautiful. I got to dance and catch up with old friends, which I always enjoy.
The happy couple and their last dance. Now they are in Tahiti/Bora Bora which is where Matt and I honeymooned. I almost hopped in their suitcase because I would LOVE to go back!
But we couldn't go too far because Sunday was Matt's 1st Father's Day. Before we left Chicago we had breakfast with my parents. Then we drove straight to Matt's parent's house to see them and Lily. Though we knew she was in good hands, it was tough being away from Lily that long. 
Lily had a great time with Nana and Grandpa and so did they. They reminded us how lucky we are to have such a sweet and easy baby.

After Father's Day dinner we had birthday cake for me. It was Lily's first birthday party and first time seeing candles being blown out. As usual, she just stared and didn't give much reaction. That girl is like a sponge and just soaks everything in.
