March 24th, 2010- Katlyn's 1st Birthday!

For Katlyn's actual birthday, Matt and I took the day off and enjoyed the day with our Birthday girl! We had a great day! We took Katlyn for her 1 year photos, went shopping for a special birthday present, and later had Grandad, Lu-Lu, and Pop over to help us celebrate with some cake and bubbles! Katlyn did great for her photos...she even stood up for us the majority of the time. Daddy blew millions of bubbles to keep her interested and got tons of smiles! I was so excited with all the photos. It was so hard to pick out of all the ones they took. We went to a couple of stores to find the perfect birthday present and Katlyn ended up choosing a pink bouncey ball, some wooden balls that are all tied together, and a fridge farm. She wanted a big stuffed "woof woof" from the toy store, but we figured once we got that home she would think it was boring when it didn't do anything! Later that evening, Grandad, Lu-Lu, and Pop came over to celebrate Katlyn's 1st year with us! I made another cake for her to enjoy and she did...made a great big mess, too! What an amazing year it has been and celebrating Katlyn's birthday was so much fun!
