This was the best birthday ever! I think we were successful in making Kenya’s birthday exactly what she wanted.
Her birthday was a balloon, Cheeto, dance party. That is right, she got balloons to play with from the time she woke up, had Cheetos for lunch and even some after dinner, and got to dance at her party. What a life for a 1 year old.
At church today she was quite the ball of energy. She would not sit still or even play with her quite toys. All she wanted to do was climb the stairs to the pulpit run in the aisle, or cry and whine. What a day. I am sure she knew there was something special about today and that she could push us just a little bit more than normal. And the fact that all she had was a less than 30-minute nap.
After church we had a family party. We had a wonderful dinner (ham, potato salad, corn, and homemade rolls) with Grandma and Grandpa Evans, Elcia, and Great Grandpa Stevens. I think Kenya ate at least 1 full adult serving of ham. SHE LOVED IT! Who know? I had made the potato salad thinking that is what she would eat the most of, but she only ate 1 bite. She loaded up on corn and ham. After dinner we turned on the music and danced and opened gifts
Kenya got a little stuffed dog for her birthday from Robert and I. As soon as she got that she fell in love! Really, it was adorable! We also got her a large bouncing ball. She got 4 pairs of shoes (can you believe it!) and some super cute clothes from friends and family.
We then had cake and ice cream. I made her a balloon cake. I think the idea was cute, but it was poorly executed. It had a larger balloon in the middle to write “Happy 1st Birthday Kenya” on and then cupcakes all around it to make it look like a bouquet of balloons. I like it and everyone else said it was good too. We let Kenya have an entire cupcake to her, but she was really not interested. I put a little bit of ice cream on her tray too. That is what she loved! She ate it fast and got an ice cream headache and the spit out some of the ice cream. Too cute!
Then to end the day she had a bath and off to bed.
She had everything, that I consider her favorite!
Balloons, Ball, Dog, Cheetos, Dancing, Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Helped with Laundry, Bath, and Kitty!
Kenya we love you so much! Happy Birthday.
