It's FUN to be ONE!

I realize this is my third "birthday post" in the last few hours, but I wanted to share one more so that you could see what we did to make Kyndall's 1st birthday special for her.  Although her party was 10 days ago, I wanted her to feel important and loved on this day as well.

We started the morning with heart-shaped toast for breakfast

Then we had a little birthday photo shoot in her new rocking chair.....



After nap time, we got a surprise visit from the local florist, who brought Kyndall this beautiful gift from Nonie and Poppie.....

I had big plans for taking some cute shots of Kyndall in the backyard in her "birthday girl" shirt, but the rain kept my plans from happening.  I settled for some pictures on the front porch instead.

A few days ago while at Kate's 2nd birthday party, I let Kyndall have her first taste of Chick-Fil-A nuggets.  Not surprisingly, she LOVED them.  So, for her special birthday dinner, guess where we took her?

For her special birthday treat, we gave her a blueberry muffin after dinner.  She's been to three birthday parties in less than two weeks, so I figured she's had plenty of cake.  Besides, everyone knows muffins are just bald cupcakes anyway! =)

Lastly, we ended her special day by Skyping with all of the Grandparents.  She LOVES doing this and I love seeing her face light up when they appear on the computer screen!

Remember how I told you about Kyndall humming while she eats?  Without fail, she did it tonight while we had dinner at Chick-Fil-A.  It was literally so loud that I kept looking around to see if anyone near us was bothered by it!  It must be a sign of contentment and approval, because it seems to get louder and more frequent with her favorite foods! 

Overall, I think she had a GREAT first birthday!  I'm sure in years to come she won't remember how she spent this day, but I sure will, and I will treasure those memories forever!  Here's to many more birthdays and many more happy memories!
