Well, it's official, she's a year old already!!!! She had quite an eventful birthday too. Since they had rescheduled my OB appointment from last week for 10:00 a.m. monday morning, we got up and headed over there first thing after breakfast for a check-up and my GTT. Then Kyra napped while Phil and I worked on getting things ready for her party that evening. After she woke up, she had a little lunch and opened her birthday gifts from us. She like the mega-blocks and especially the Elmo book but was not quite as fascinated by the clothes. :) She got a card in the mail from her Grandma and Papa in Wisconsin and thought that was very exciting when Phil showed it to her because there were two dogs on the cover. A tree had fallen in the park and the management was busy for most of the day trying to get it cleaned up so they weren't in the office for us to grab the key to the rec hall where her party was going to be and we finally got it just a couple hours before party time!
She had lots of fun at her party. Several of her friends and their parents (our friends, nice how it works out that way) were there and also her Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Jackie. The party was Elmo themed (very lightly Elmo... Mama's not that ambitious.) We had red plates, napkins, etc. and red and yellow balloons. I brought her Hokey Pokey Elmo, thinking we would set it on one of the tables for a decoration but she wanted to play with it in the Super Yard instead. She played with the other little girls for a while and then decided that she would rather sit on Mama or Dad's lap and socialize with the grownups. :) We had sloppy joes, chips, berries and veggies so nothing fancy, just easy for Mama and good leftovers for Dad's lunches this week. There were cupcakes too! Angel food and confetti and a sugarless banana raisin for Kyra. They were decorated with Elmo faces and a few Zoe faces too because Mama got brave and decided to try. i think next time we do cupcakes for something, I'll make a bunch of the Sesame monsters because they actually turned out sort of O.K. and weren't super hard to make. She was too busy to eat much beyond a few animal crackers but loved the cupcake she had after most of her guests had left!!
