Kaellyns 1st Birthday

Kaellyn woke up around 10 am which means she was still on California time.  And she did not wake up happy.  But after a bit she perked up.  She had a blast playing with the laundry while I cleaned the rest of the house and decorated.  Then she had a bath and took a nap.  The party started at 2pm and she slept until 3:15.  She was a very tired girl.  But once she woke up she had a great fun time.

We had all of Briss family down.  His mom, dad, brothers, nephews, cousins, uncle and nephew once removed.  All in all we had about 15 people there.  Plus, my friend Nikki and her 3 year old boy came.

Then we gave Kaellyn her cake.  I put her in a cute bikini so she could smash and eat her cake.  She had a good time with it.  Then we opened all her presents and she loved the water table the best.  The boys loved the boxes the best of course.

Everyone left around 6pm or so and we all had a great time.  Bob, Eric, Ed and Donna stayed the night so we stayed up playing Apples to Apples and other games on the Kinect.  It was great to have everyone at the house.  Bob and Ed decided to sleep outside on the deck.  It seemed hard wood to me but they wanted to sleep there. The next day we went to Woodcock lake where Eric carried Briss and Kaellyn and I enjoyed the lake.
