Long Overdue

We were finally able to celebrate Keltie's first birthday on Friday. We were going to have it a long time ago, but everyone had such busy schedules. It was well worth the wait though. We decided just to have cupcakes and ice cream this time, since I didn't want to make all the food again. She was such a good girl for her party. I was a little bit concerned because we couldn't have everyone over until 7:00 and she's usually in bed by 8:00. I thought that we might have a little grouch on her hands, but she was such a perfect little girl. She did go to bed later than usual, but fell asleep all on her own even with all the noise. She enjoyed every minute of her party as did we. She is just growing up way to fast. Here's some of the pictures from her party.

Boompa and Grammy brought her a whole shoe box full of change. This money is eventually going to be used to build her swing set. She had so much fun putting the money into her piggy bank. She will have hours of fun with this. (Notice the dress, it was her Easter dress that my mom made.) Since she was sick for Easter she didn't get to wear it. We had it to double duty for her party. Look at that smile!

"Here's my new cell phone. I can't wait to use it. Who should I call first?"

Here Keltie is in her birthday bib. Unfortunately, she was too excited about the cows outside the window and so she wouldn't look directly at me. The cows are her new fascination. She is constantly looking out the windows to see if they are there. It's so cute to watch because she'll sit and wave at them.

Here she is with her cake and ice cream. This wasn't the typical first experience with these things because she had already had them since we didn't have her birthday party on her actual date. She was still very excited to have all the attention focused on her. When we sang to her she had to make sure that all eyes were on her.

Happy Belated Birthday Sweetie! We hope that you enjoyed your day. Thank you to everyone who came. We had a lot of fun.
