We decided to have a party for Katelynn's birthday while we were around both of our families. It was a couple weeks early, so she is going to get two parties. We had to wait a little while for family to gather and the Hess Family was able to come and visit with us a little before the party started. It was fun especially with kids that are close in age. Gretel is 6 weeks older than Katelynn so it was fun to compare where they both were developmentally. It was interesting to see how one will develop quicker in one area and one in another. You can see their personalities and how different they are.
Katie and Clayton needed to leave before the festivities began but it was great to see them. I think Katie and Jen had a good time bond with mother-talk.
Then came the presents. Katelynn was a little timid opening the presents.
Her cousins were more then willing to help her out.
She got a lot of toys and clothes. She really liked the whole presents thing, toys and clothes.
After presents, cake. We made cupcakes for everyone. This was the first time she would eat cake, or any kind of junk food, so we were very interested to she how she reacted.
At first, she didn't really know what to do with it. She bat it around and played with the frosting.
She got a taste of the frosting and cake and went crazy. She grabbed the whole thing and dug in.
Cake got everywhere as expected.
My dad took my camera while I was video taping it. He seriously took at least 30-40 pictures of the cupcake time.
