Ladybug Party!

We decided to have a "bug" party in honor of the birthday girl, aka doodle bug, ladybug, and just plain ol' bug! I made the invitations. My special project! Thanks daddy for helping!

Here' comes the guest of honor...looking especially cute in her ladybug dress!



Posing with Nana and Great Grandpa Pendleton who came all the way from Indiana for the weekend. Kate was happy to meet him for the very first time!

Time for pinata. Kate needed a little help.

Mommy's friend, Melissa came with her daughter, Savannah, who is only 8 days older than Kate. They had fun playing together!

Here is the dirt cake that mommy made for the kids...it turned out pretty good, worms and all!

Mommy and daddy made a ladybug cake. Daddy had the special job of piping the icing and he did a GREAT job, don't you think?

It's time to blow out the candle. It really looks like she was blowing, but she got some help from her cousins!

Not really sure what she is supposed to do with this.

But she gets the hang of it in no time!

Sugar heaven! I knew she would love it!

Here Papa, there is enough to share!

Now that I'm all clean and had my wardrobe change, did someone say presents?

Wow, a bubble machine...

Thanks Savannah!

Now that's what I call a birthday party!

Thanks Luke and Michah for my stretch Elmo, he's the coolest. And I can't wait to listen to my new CD! Mimi got me my first pair of crocs and aunt Kim got me a pretty pair of sandals. I also got lots of $$ from Nana and Papa and Great Grandpa, and The Ondres for my savings account. Thanks everyone for a wonderful 1st Birthday!!
