Birthday Party

On April 25th, we celebrated Kate's first year of life. We started out the morning with presents in bed, as a certain big sister couldn't wait "any longer".

Kate received a doctor's kit from her sissy and some books and a new car from mom and dad.



We got up and around and headed out to Nana and G-Daddy's to get ready for her party. Around 3 pm guests began arriving. We started with opening presents.

Birthday Girl!

And then we had cupcakes and ice cream. YUM!

Although Kate did enjoy the cake, she didn't eat nearly as much as the night before with her smash cake . I think the tummy ache she had most of the night helped remind her not to over do it.

After that we had planned to swim. There was quite a bit of cloud cover so the pool was not very warm. Since Nana and G-Daddy have a heat pump we were able to fill the little pools with very warm water for the babies. It was like a baby hot tub.

After we had everyone dried off we tried for a group shot. Unfortunately, Grace had already left. Trying to get the four kiddos to sit and look at the camera was quite entertaining.

Ready...Set...

BREAK!!!

It's Kate's party and she'll cry if she wants to...

We're outta here!

Overall it was a nice, stress free party. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends. Thank you Nana, G-Daddy, Christa, Andrew, Caleb, Michelle, Sarah, JT, Brandon, Erin, Micah, Lisa, Isaiah, Julie, Annine, Abbie, Amy, Jake, Grace, Christi and Preston for helping us celebrate our special day!
