Kaelyn's first birthday 21st November 2010

I know this is more than 4 months late, but I always say, better late than never, especially with scrap booking, blogging, crafting, hobbies, etc, which inevitably get prioritized to the back of the queue in these busy days!! Our sweet girl turned one on the 21st of November 2010. It has been a simply wonderful year watching her become a very active, happy, loveable little person. She loves her big sister so much it is amazing to me and she loves every animal on the planet and has a unique way of trying to hug them all!! She is literally never still unless she is unwell or sleeping! We just wouldn't be without out Little Miss Kaelyn Rose and we had a wonderful weekend for her birthday. Normally, I am of the school of thought that believes, that a one year old doesn't know it is their birthday, and any celebrations are for the adults only, however our Kaelyn absolutely loves opening presents and LOVES other children. So we decided to have a couple of our friends over who have similar aged children for a lunch party on the Saturday and then have a small family buffet on the Sunday after church. Kaelyn absolutely loved both her parties and soaked up all the attention!! She thoroughly enjoyed the party food also and pretty much ate her body weight in the stuff (not terribly hard as she doesnt weigh a great deal!!) Here is a photo of me and my lovely one year old opening one of her presents. This was a huge hit, a musical princess book with a wand!! Here is Kaelyn, covered in obligatory birthday chocolate having cuddles with her doting daddy

I love this photo of us all when we were singing Happy Birthday to Kaelyn. I felt so bad because I ran out of time to make a cake so we had a shop bought one! Major guilt trip for the mother! Everyone was telling me to get over it, the things we do to ourselves!!

It will be her 2nd birthday before we know it!! Though maybe I will be up to date on the blog by then! Or maybe not?!?!?
