Kira's Birthday Party

I know it was almost 2 weeks ago, but things have been a little busy here with me working full-time!
Kira's party was on a Tuesday night with friends and family. We had a great time and Kira loved having everyone there. Thanks everyone for coming!

Eating a little dinner

Kade and Ben

Getting dinner...

Yummy dinner... ziti (quick and easy!)

Checking out her presents

hmm

reading her cards... she's so advanced! ha!

Kira was so excited that I was going to let her play with the ice bucket. I had just told her that it was okay... she looks so excited

woohoo!

going in for the ice

yum! the taste of success

A ride from Gpop Kenny

Our noodle-flower theme... I just cut up the beveled noodles and whala- flowers!

We had lots and lots of noodle-flowers in the pool. Kevin had more fun than any of the kids playing with them

Jules in the pool

Bday girl taking a swim... brrr

Kaden and the fun noodle decor leading to the pool

Continuing the noodle-flower theme, Eric's mom made a HUGE noodle shaped cake for Kira. It was SO yummy!

Lighting the candle...

She was interested in the fire...

Smiling while we sang to her

Nope... she wouldn't blow it out. We've been working for about a month on blowing and she's sooo good at it. However, I never had her blow out something... so when she saw the fire and I said "blow", she was completly distracted! :) Good thing we had lots of kid helpers!

First Cake!
Grandmom's cake was sooo pretty and sooo yummy! Thank you!

First a taste...

She's all over it...

Can you ever have too many cake pictures?

Hmm this is good!

two fisting

All done

Getting ready to open all the presents. Thank you everyone!

We made Kira a new blanket for her bed. It was cuddly and warm on the nice, cool night.

Thanks Julia and AJ for the new doll. It's Kira's 1st real dolly!

Birthday Peek a Boo

This was my favorite part of the birthday party...
While opening presents Kira started playing peek-a-boo with the blanket. She thought she was soo funny playing with everyone. I was laughing so hard.

Kira was getting a kick out of herself!

Where's Kira?
I love that you can see her little fingers holding the blanket sides. Too cute.
