Kendal’s First Birthday Party~ March 22, 2009
What I originally dreamed would be a small, intimate party ended up a big party. And if I am going to do a big party, well, I might as well go over the top – since that’s what I do. So, pink & brown cupcakes filled ever corner of the house from a 25-foot, handmade banner to the perfect pull-a-part, cupcake, cake decorated to match – everything was made to match and made with love. I had so much fun planning her party, and other than Kendal not liking her cake, she seemed to have a great time – once her shyness wore off.
The guest list was complete with all of Kendal’s friends, and while a couple of families had to cancel at the last minute due to sickness – we had a great turn out. The best surprise of all – Stef & George surprised me by showing up for the party! Stef schemed with Liny & Bobby, but I was clueless. What a great surprise!

In the goody bags, the girls received picture frames with flowers and their initials, a Disney book & Cupcake hair bows. The boys received Cars socks instead of bows & frames with Mickey Mouse. I really hope everyone enjoyed everything! They were fun to make!
Months of preparation, over in just two hours. But I will remember it forever – and we have plently of pictures to prove it!
I enjoy that I am first in this list… so what if Aunt starts with an “A” and she did it alphabetically… truly it was done by K’s favorite
