Kaidence's First Birthday Party

{opening gifts}

She seriously got so many great things! :)
Lots & lots of noisy toys, and a ton of fall/winter clothes!

And, here is the wreaths & door hanger.

I forgot to include in my previous post!

These 2 wreaths were hanging on each side of our kitchen entrance in our dining room

And, this zebra wreath was hanging on our front door

And, this hand painted 5x5 canvas was on the inside of the door

2 more Birthday posts left!

{Guests and Cake!}

Happy Birthday to Kaidence!

This morning we woke Kaidence up before Josh headed to work.

We sound horrible, but it's the thought! ;)



We have a very fun day planned today!
Josh is actually taking off work early, we're taking K to the park, to get her first taste of 1 of the 31 flavors, and out to dinner! :)

{I will continue the Birthday Party pictures later this week!}

Kaidence's First Birthday Party

{the decor}

In the living room, we had a candy buffet set up for the kids to fix a "thank you" bag before leaving.

And, of course had a cute little sign above the table! :)

Behind Kaidence's chair, we had her Birthday banner!

Her "girl-i-fied" chair! :)

On our sofa table, I had her monthly pictures, 2 first year books, and a canvas for all the guests to sign!

And, here's one of the one year books I made.

Nothing too fancy, but it's a great thing for her to keep for years to come!

I totally forgot to take a picture of the 3 tissue wreaths & food tables! :(
Hopefully I can find some on other family member's camera.

I'm going to break everything down into several different posts so it won't be a picture OVERLOAD!

Check back later for pictures of Miss K devouring her cake, the guests, and the gifts! :)

thoughLESS Thursday

...because, let's just be honest, my thoughts at this point are all things BIRTHDAY!

We finally got our new furniture.

We love it! :)
I think Kaidence likes it pretty good, too!

This is her new go-to spot!
She loves to just sit up there & play! :)
