Katelyn's First Birthday

We had a small (grandparents, aunts, and uncles) birthday celebration for Katelyn this weekend.  As we were planning the party, I felt a little guilty because Tyler, Collin, and Reagan all had big parties for their first birthdays, but in the end, this party was perfect.  Kate truly enjoyed her party and she was so much fun the whole time.

Collin took this picture before the party.

We had pizza from Ma Raffa's and I made a banana cake with cream cheese frosting.  Collin and Reagan decorated the cake.

They loved having such an important task and took pride in the decorating.

They would have used more sprinkles and jimmies, but I had to draw the line here.

Kate thought the cake and ice cream was absolutely delicious.  She licked her plate clean!!!!!!!!!!

She had a lot of fun opening presents too, and she got excited about everything she opened.

Collin and Reagan have been pushing Kate around the house on this toy constantly; my back is thankful!!

Kate already loves clothes!  This one shirt with blue flowers was one of her favorite gifts.  She wouldn't put it down and she kept trying to put it on herself!

The party was a lot of fun and Kate was so precious all day long.

Later that night, we went to Grandma's house to watch the Spirit of Somerset fireworks.  Kate pointed to them in the sky and really seemed to enjoy the show.  It was a great ending to her birthday celebration.
