More celebrating!

Ok, I need to just mention here, I had no intention of having 3 birthday parties for Kaiya. Really. So, sorry for another bday post! Though, as her mother, of course I was happy to oblige her that, and naturally I think she deserves a party every single day! But as it turns out, this little girl got to celebrate her 1st bday 3 times! Lucky!! First, was her celebration with Jess and her family last weekend. Then, our little family enjoyed some celebrating on her actual birthday, of course. Finally, today, we got to have a little party with some of our extended family and good friends. We are so thankful for the family and friends who made the effort (and the long drive for some) to come up and help us enjoy the day! It was a lot of fun and, though Kaiya had no idea what was going on, I am glad that someday she will be able to look back on the pictures from today and see the people who came to show their love and support for her! I think she would say it was a pretty good day! Happy birthday, Kaiya-bear (AGAIN), and thanks again to everyone who was able to make it!

(Ryley helped make the day special!)

(An extra treat -- getting some snuggles from little Trevor, and spending time with Ash and Ry. What a cutie this little man is!)

(My first attempt at a cake. Not the best, but it was ok. Thanks to Jamie for some great tips and to my sis-in-law, LeAnne, for the extra help!)

(Not only fun to play with, but tastes good too!)

(Cake time -- watch those fingers!)

(Again, no hesitations on the cake! She jumped right in and devoured as much as she could!)
(Mmmmmm!)
