P-A-R-T-Y-!!!

On Saturday, we officially celebrated Kensington's birthday (for the third time!). This time, it was with my side of the family. We had 20 sweet and wonderful people come to our house for brunch to PARTY!

It was such a wonderful birthday party! We love our family so very much. Thank you for making Kensington's first birthday so special! XOXO

Pics, pics and more pics!

I have taken so many pictures this week! There isn't enough time to post them all, so here are some of my favorites.

Daddy fixed Kensington's hair in the tub

Awesome!

Mommy loves Paris! Loves it! After 6 years of studying the language and visiting multiple times, she will always have a place in her heart for this city. She was thrilled to find this pint sized shirt at Janie and Jack.

On my mom's birthday, September 12

OK...on Kensington's birthday, we took her to dinner at Chuck E. Cheese. Yes...we became "those" people! Her birthday party is this Saturday, but we had to do something special on the actual day. I had no idea how much she would love it. She really got into the whole experience. We had a blast just watching her explore. I took WAY TOO MANY PICTURES, so here are just a few...

She's walking so fast now that it's hard to snap pictures! They're all a blur!

Too excited to pose for pictures

Opening some gifts. Thanks to Aubrey's suggestion, she has the Leap Frog Talking Words and Letters Factory too

Every girl needs some Halloween PJs

She loves her "baby". That is her newest word. When she got up this morning, the first thing she did was grab this stuffed dog and go "baby". She loves it!

Yummy cake!

She must have climbed up this slide two dozen times. Who knew she could climb up a slide???

She loved Chuck E.!
