Kinley's Sunshine and Lemonade 1st Birthday Party - The Party

In honor of Kinley turning 18 months old today, I'll post about the rest of her 1st birthday party. 

We didn't expect a lot of people to make the trip to Temple for the party, but they did. My brother, Jennifer, Tenison and Heston even stayed in a hotel in town so they didn't have to drive the 8 hour round trip in one day. All the great grandparents drove a long way too. She is definitely one loved little girl! Here is a list of everyone that came to the party:

• My Mom and Dad (Giggy and Papa)
• Dede and David (Grandma and Papa)
• Heath, Jennifer, Tenison and Heston
• Nicci and Davallen
• Grandpa Doyle and Grandma Judy 
• Desirae (Colt's aunt that lives in Austin)
• Dennis Baskin (he rode with Dede and David)
• Tooter and Linda 
• Grandma Mitzi and Jeff (she didn't stay long... she left pretty early to check out Bucee's!)
• Matt and Whitney Burge
• Tina, Brandon and Dawson Barth
• Anna Raines and Clint Doty (now Anna Doty)
• Josh Diviney
• James Carr

As always, I'm awful at narrowing down pictures, so it'll be picture overload. Thankfully, Jennifer grabbed my camera and took pictures for me.

The center of attention crawling around... she wasn't quite walking yet on her birthday.

Opening presents from everyone with mom's help.

Of course, she wanted to play with everything before moving to the next one.

Davallen gave her $5 of her own money to start her piggy bank with.

Tenison was so excited for her to open the gift from them. He LOVES Kinley! He went to Build-A-Bear and picked out her present himself!

It looks like she wasn't wanting to share her bear.  

She wasn't quite sure what to think about the 4-wheeler from Giggy and Papa, but she liked it! Grandma and Papa also bought her a decked out little red wagon, but it didn't even make it into the house during the party. She got it afterwards, and we've used it tons!

Cousin hugs

She wasn't quite sure why everyone was watching her and singing to her. She was also more interested in the lemon than her cupcake. 

Once she did grab at it with her little hands, she got a tiny little bite and gagged. She almost threw up and definitley was not a fan! I wish I would've gotten her funny reaction on video. 

Daddy and Kinley during her party... my guess is she got fussy and needed some milk to calm her down.

This was actually Grandpa Doyle, Grandma Judy and Desirae's first time to get to meet Kinley.

I forgot to get someone to take a picture of us with Kinley until after the party was over. By that time, I was soaking wet from slipping and falling down in the pool. 

Linda took these so I stole them and they are a little blurry... Tooter with Colt and Nicci

My mom got her a shirt made for Kinley's party.

We tried to get a picture of my mom with all three of the grandkids that were there. These were a couple of our attempts!

Tension playing with Kinley and making her laugh by blowing on her belly. 

It was a fun party! Even though I was busy and didn't really get to talk to anyone much, I'm so glad that everyone came to help us celebrate our baby girl turning 1!
