Party Time!! (with a little picture overload)



Kaela's 1st birthday party was a success!  We thought it was going to rain all day but thankfully it stopped just in time and stayed nice out the whole time! We set up a big bouncy house for the kids to jump in which seemed to be a hit.  We had lots of friends and family who came to celebrate Kaela's big day with her which was really great.  Kaela had a lot of friends come including Knoah and his family (Tonya, Will, Jacob and Hannah) and Owen (with his mom Cat)!
We were so happy they could make it and really appreciate them making the drive to share in Kaela's big day.  Plus those boys are sooo cute, it's always fun to be able to grab them up and give them lovin.
I was a bad mother though and didn't give Kaela her own cake.  I made these two big cakes that took up quite a bit of time, I didn't get around to making Kaela her own. Instead we gave her a piece of cake, which she enjoyed very much!

Kaela got lots of super cute clothes, some toys that she LOVES including a little table from Knoah and his family that is perfect for her to pull herself up on, some of the 'little people' toys, and some dolls.

Will was all over the place so I didn't get many pictures of him, but by the time I did get to him he was sooooo messy from food, playing outside and just being a busy 2 year old boy :)
Thanks to everyone who came and for all the great gifts! We appreciate it all so much and are so lucky to have you all in our lives!! I will end with some more pics my other close friends and their cute kids.
