Kimber's First Bee-Day: The big DAY

Kimber started her birthday with a crib full of balloons! She was pretty tired and didn't really know what was going on when she woke up and I was in her face singing happy birthday & bouncing balloons around her room! But after waking up a little, she was excited to play with her balloons!

 

 

 

 

I was a little sad that I couldn't take the day off work to spend with Kimber on her first birthday, but due to everyone else in my office being out on vacation or maternity leave - it just wasn't possible. I'm sure she had much more fun playing with all her friends at daycare anyways!! She dressed in her birthday princess outfit and brought donuts & chocolate milk to daycare to share with everyone!!



 

 

 

After I picked her up from daycare, we went home for an outfit change since she was filthy from playing outside!! Which to me  means she had a great day- the dirtier the better!

 

Since it was Kimber's birthday - she got to pick where we went out to eat and she picked Texas Roadhouse {with the help of Daddy}.

 

 

 

Daddy thought it would be funny to get a picture of Kimber holding his beer.

 

 

 

She had her favorite for dinner - mac & cheese! And she ate TWO rolls with the cinnamon butter! She also tried the loaded baked potatoes & steak and seemed to like them both. She usually isn't a fan of mashed potatoes, but when you throw cheese & bacon on them...I guess she's a fan!

 

 

Next it was time for the birthday girl to sit on the saddle while everyone wished her Happy Birthday! We weren't sure how this was going to go. We figured she's love it and smile & laugh. Or hate it and cry. At first she wasn't too sure, but she ended up loving it and held onto the saddle like a pro!

 

 

When we got home from dinner, we took her for a couple laps down the driveway in her new bike that she got from Gramma & Papa for her birthday. She loves this thing and could go for walks all night long!

 

 

 

 

I took a couple final pictures of the birthday girl and then it was time for a bath & bed time!

 

 

 

We had a great FIRST birthday with Kimber! We established a couple birthday traditions for her - balloons in her room & picking her favorite restaurant for dinner. But most of all, I hope she felt how extremely loved she is by both Mommy & Daddy!!
