Putting on her new shirt...
Couldn't believe I was letting her eat her own cake.
30 great people
2 failed cakes
5 trips to the store
3 emergency borrowed items from a neighbor
Nowhere to have the party
And 1 nervous break down later...
We had a party!
Okay, so it wasn't that stressful. Okay, actually it was. But once the party actually happened it was all okay. Seriously, not many more things could have gone wrong in preparations for the big party. But then it got rolling and I realized all the things I was worrying about were silly. (Except for the fact that I ruined two cakes the morning of, or that we almost didn't have anywhere for the 30 people to go...that was real stress.)
ANYWAY, Kellyn is one. She is beautiful and happy and we love her so much. Here are a few more fun Kellyn facts:
- She LOVES dogs
- She is going to be very independent and stubborn--she is already even trying to dress herself
- She LOVES shoes
- Her hair grows in a perfect pony tail pattern--who knows why but it's super cute (except not so cute when it's not in a pony tail, then it looks like a bad comb over)
- Kellyn LOVES her daddy
- Kellyn calls any man with a shaved head "dada"
You know when you get married you are excited and think you couldn't love each other anymore? And then a couple years later you realize how much more you really love them? That's how it's been with Kellyn. When she was born I was in love. Even though I was a bit traumatized by the birth and nursing and no sleep, I totally loved her. But every moment I'm with her, every diaper I change, every story I read and song I sing, I love her even more. It's like my heart is growing. Motherhood is so hard yet so beautiful. I hope this year doesn't go by quite so fast.
Happy Birthday Kellyn--we love you.

It was a beautiful day for a beautiful baby. We feel so blessed to be her grandparents! Oh, btw, your heart will continue to grow more in love every day. It's wonderful!
Well Happy Birthday Kellyn! I can't believe that she's already 1!! She is so adorable, love her hair. She has such a cute, happy smile!! Aren't birthdays for kids so much fun? And yes, a bit stressful.
It looks like the party was awesome! I just wish I could have given you some of my vanilla and eggs. :)
Happy birthday Kellyn! She's seriously 1 already? Wow. She's so stinkin' cute too. It's weird how that happens huh, all those sleepless nights and hours and hours of serving them result in endless amounts of love for them.
I can't believe she is one & I'm really sorry I couldn't help you with any of the party stuff.
She is the cutest thing ever! Okay, not thing. Cutest girl ever! Happy Birthday Kellyn!
You give me hope! I'm a bit worried about that part where they send me home from the hospital with this baby to take care of by myself...yeah. :) I love the cake pictures. Too cute.
She's beautiful! I can't believe it's been over a year already. It looks like you are doing great!
