Happy 1st Birthday Kyra!

May 22, 2009

************VERY PICTURE HEAVY!************
Today my baby turned one. I know, everyone says that, but I find it so hard to believe how quickly time just flew by!

The day was so busy for me. I had to drop the kids off at daycare and go to work for a few hours. Then I had to run party related errands, pick up my niece from school, pick up the food, and get the clubhouse decorated. Justin was off but I am a bit of a control freak so I didn't utilize him to the best of my ability. I managed to get everything done by the skin of my teeth and with the help of my family!

When I picked up Kyra from daycare, it was so cute. Her daycare teacher Ms. Elizabeth put her hair in little pigtails. This was so cute, I always tell her she is Kyra's personal hair stylist.

The party didn't start on time (thankfully) because a lot of people had to come from home after working all day. The birthday girl made a late entrance to her party because I wanted to make sure she had a nap and her Daddy didn't know he was supposed to wake her up!

So here are the pictures from the evening...

Getting ready for cake




Princess Cake from Publix, it was delish!




Complimentary Smash Cake



Kyra was so delicate at first once the smash cake was placed in front of her. She was trying to figure out what to do with what was on her fingers.




My friend Beth "helped" Kyra really dig into the cake.




Madelyn & her mom Misty enjoying some cake.


Kyra with the Pooh Bear GranMemere made.


The kids looking at the presents





Kyra with her baby doll


Memere & Kyra. I love the smile she has here.



See proof that Vaughn was here. Unfortunately, we didn't get many good pictures of Vaughn this day.


Some of the birthday loot



Kyra and Cyndell playing.



I loved that Kyra took off with these balloons that were attached to the weights. They were so much bigger than she is!
