After a day like yesterday, I had to start this one on a high note. So I put in some Ms. Ella Fitzgerald doing it Christmas style and watched this.
He just couldn't believe his eyes at first!
We celebrated Kai's first birthday this weekend. It's just too cliche' to even say, "I can't believe it's been a year!!" He's so mischievous. Notice the sugar coma he falls into during the last 40 seconds.
I was so pleased with the turnout. It was cowboy themed. Claire and I made the paper chains out of old magazines. We had these quesadillas, corn on the cob, and sloppy joes. I was going for a southwest feel. We even had a Roy Rogers dvd on in the background!
The cupcake recipe can be found here. I used this icing recipe though. It's whipped cream cheese icing! The cookies were probably my favorite though. I couldn't get enough of them!
Everyone dressed in their best cowboy gear.
Kai loved all his new toys. Especially when mom played the harmonica for him!
And his new boots!! J and I found these at a local thrift store a few months ago. He's just the perfect lil' cowboy:)
The day ended with ANOTHER birthday celebration. Uncle Jer turned the big 24. What a day!:)
Kai would like to thank everyone for such a wonderful first birthday!
