Sweet Birthday Weekend

It was a sweet birthday weekend. Family came to bestow Happy Birthday wishes and presents to Kaitlyn on her 2ND birthday (Actual day is Feb. 5). I have been feeling awful these last couple of weeks and have depended on Brandon for a lot of birthday planning this weekend. I couldn't even make it through the grocery store with my brother and Kaitlyn without feeling nauseous. We had snow Friday morning and on Saturday it was in the 50s for Kaitlyn's party.

We welcomed the Meche family and Kaitlyn's godmother, cousin Layna, and brother Stephen, with the Kleins. Layne, nanny as Kaitlyn calls her, played a lot with her and even changed her dirty diapers. I was so thankful for her to stay here because I really didn't feel well in the morning before her party.

Kaitlyn had a blast. She woke up from her nap and everyone was waiting for her. She was excited before she saw everyone and then became very shy and stared at everyone. She has this new thing where she puts her fingers in her mouth at these moments. Daddy made her a wonderful Mickey Mouse birthday cake for the party.

She started to warm up after blowing out her candle. (All by herself.) And then began to eat yummy cake. After that, she dug into opening presents and really liked to keep the outfits by her and played with every toy. They were all hits: kitchen, baby bed, electronic alphabet speller, baby rocker and her big girl slide.

We then played all afternoon and then went to dinner at The Purple Cow. There Kaitlyn watch Uncle Spencer eat crayons and ran around the table to say hi to other little kids around us. She enjoyed her grandparents a lot.

After Kaitlyn's party, we found out our friends, Tom and Brooke McKie had their baby girl, Macie at 6 lbs 13 oz. She had her on the same day and weekend as I had Kaitlyn two years ago. We came to visit them in the hospital on Super Bowl Sunday and parents and baby look great!!
