Another Birthday Party, and a Visit!

Yesterday, September 30th, was Bailey's first birthday...and Kaylee just knew she couldn't miss it. I mean afterall...there would likely be balloons there! And she was right.

I love her expression in this picture. Her quest for the the balloons often lead her to the den of the bigger kids. She held her own though, there were two older boys there, and just as Daddy feared, she showed an intense interest in both of them!

Soon it was time for Bailey's birthday cupcake. Here's the birthday girl in all her frosting glory!

And of course, Kaylee had to sample the cuisine. She opted for chocolate (or more truly, Mommy did: the bigger the mess the cuter the picture)"How do you like the cupcake?" I asked her.
Simple words were not enough, Kaylee thought the cupcakes deserved a round of applause.
After the cupcakes it was time for Bailey to open presents. Kaylee felt it her duty to help Bailey play with her new toys. And as Bailey continued to unwrap Kaylee kept an eye on things, you know she wanted to make sure she got to play with the coolest new thing. Here she is playing with Bailey's new Little People while watching her unwrap something else.
Then we had to scoot home, because "Uncle" Ben was coming over.

And so was "Auntie" Danielle.
We weren't sure if Kaylee was entertaining them or...
...they were entertaining her. Perhaps, it was mutual.
A great time was had by all...and what a busy day! A birthday party and some house guests too! What a popular little girl we have!

Woohoo--now we're caught up with September pictures!
