Happy First Birthday, Kaitlyn

This year, Kaitlyn's first birthday fell on a Wednesday. Paul and I both requested the day off and hadn't really planned too much. We were hoping for a "low key" day. Mom and Papa bought Katie a new playground set for the backyard for her birthday, and Rainbow was coming bright and early to install everything.

We are too cool to sit down for pictures this month...

We ended up having a sort of "impromptu" birthday party at our house that evening. Meghan is in town visiting for the week, Grandma and Grandpa and Jon came over with Mom and Papa, Paul's dad spent the day with us and then in the evening, Noemi and Isabella came over to wish Katie a happy birthday. Mom and Grandma made a quick run to find us some yummy cupcakes, and we had cupcake and ice cream and watched Katie open her presents. While that was probably the highlight of her day, I think the rest of us had a blast playing on her new toy!
