Today is the first day since last Wednesday that we don't have company...it was sadly kind of quiet this morning. :( There is SO much I could say and tell about Keatin's 1st birthday. I will try to summarize what I can with the pictures below. She was a trooper through it all and so friendly to all her guests. It really is humbling to think of how much all our family and friends love Keatin...which I guess reflects on how much they all care about Josh and I. Thank you to EVERYONE who thought of Keatin on her big day - she is the most amazing blessing in our lives and I know she could feel all the love around her and warm thoughts about her. :)
Having a snack on Friday (her actual birthday)...showing everyone that she is one. :)
Saturday was the party day... "Aunt" Pam made Keatin's birthday cakes... She came to the rescue because anything I would have attempted to make would not have even come close to this beauty. :) The little white cake was ALL Keatin's...
And the butterfly cake was for everyone else!
Keatin with her new musical teapot... This is an adorable gift, and we have already been having a lot of tea parties...she always says "MMMM" when she drinks her tea!
Keatin was even lucky enough to have her own special 1st birthday outfit made for her! My friend Jenni in Kansas made this and sent it to us last week in time for the big party day. Keatin looked ADORABLE in it...LOVE the #1 on her shorts!
Cake time!
What is this stuff on the tip of my finger?
Do I put it in my hair?
Heaven's no! It tastes yummy!
Keatin "dug" a little deeper in her cake when I gave her a spoon...
I think I am done.... This is all the "dirtier" I got!
Time for some presents...
A new Baby Einstein DVD from Bri...
And my very own cell phone from Aunt Pam!
The gifts are taking over the living room!
The "Petersen" side of the family....
The "Barber" side of the family...
Our little angel...
Keatin with the Anthones...
Keatin and her Uncle Joey...this guy is SOOOOO fun to play with!
Oh yeah...Sunday was my mom and dad's 34th anniversary, and next Sunday is Jen and Joey's 1st anniversary. Here are the anniversary couples with Keatin!
Whew! It was a whirlwind of a weekend but like I said earlier, so special...so humbling.
I know - no pics of the basement...which is carpeted and was a HUGE hit at the party. I will get some uploaded when I have free time - HA!
As a side note...Keatin had her 1 year appointment this morning. She weighed in at 20 pounds, 8 ounces and she is 31 inches long. In Dr. Paschen's words..."she is perfect." :)
Oh another side note...we have Keatin's 1 year pictures tonight with a photographer in Ames. I believe they will all be available for viewing online. Will keep you posted...
