Katy's First Birthday 2008

We had Katy's birthday party a little early since Christmas time is so chaotic. I still don't know if mid December is the best time to have her birthday parties in the future because we all were still very busy and stressed. The party turned out great anyway and she seemed to have a wonderful time. And why not? She loves being the center of attention! I was so glad that most of our families could come and celebrate with us. It made it all the more special. I went with cupcakes instead of a cake. I was planning on making them from scratch, but I should have known better. The first batch was a disaster so I threw them all away and hurried back to the store to buy a box of cake mix. The icing was homemade, but even I can't mess that up. I made the cupcakes into the shape of a butterfly if you can't tell by the picture. The cupcake was Katy's first real sugary treat. She loved it! She did so good opening her presents. I thought she would just wander around and not be intrested in the opening process, but she would pull the tissue out and give her sweet little smile.

Sweet Pea

These are just a few random pics of Sweet Pea. One day it was really cold and Katy looked too cute in her hat. Another day she decided to help her dad take out the trash. We are starting early on the chores I guess.
