Kate's 1st Birthday

We celebrated a very special day at our house recently. On July 19, 2008 Baby Kate turned ONE year old!!! We can hardly believe it has been a whole year since we brought our baby girl home from the hospital. She has been such a wonderful addition to our little family. We all love her very much, and she truly is a blessing.

To celebrate her big day we had a birthday bash at our house. Our family and friends gathered to celebrate. We set up the water slide and kiddie pool in the backyard. Chris cooked lasagna for dinner. We also had salad and bread to go with it. For desert we had cake, of course, homemade ice cream, and homemade root beer. Uncle Aaron and Aunt Johnnie contributed the ice cream and root beer. It was such a special treat!! We thank them so much!!

Kate really enjoyed opening all the gifts. She wanted to inspect all the toys. She was very interested in her new things. She received a framed cross stitch made by Aunt Lorita, little bug learning toy, Baby Einstein video, penguin pop up toy, Precious Moments figurine, Glow worm, stuffed birthday cake with one dollar hidden inside, a lady bug coin holder, books, several very appreciated outfits and dresses, including her first pair of Wrangler jeans, a savings bond, and money. We thank everybody for their very generous gifts! Chris and I bought her a little bouncing Zebra she can ride. She really showed off her cowgirl skills for everybody. She really liked being the center of attention!
