I'm not sure I even know where to begin. This party was so fun to plan and get ready for. Yes, it was a little crazy and very busy the day of making 40 plus cupcakes, etc...but it was so fun! I can't believe that I have a 1 year old little girl! She's just growing up so fast.
So in the morning Rick had work at the MTC but after he got home we loaded everything up that we needed for the party and headed down to Spanish Fork, making a couple quick stops on the way.
Rick went to the Spanish Fork library to continue working on his secondary applications for medical school and Kimbri and I went to my parents house to start preparing for the birthday party.
We worked right up until the party making cupcakes, wrapping presents, making a birthday sign for Kimbri, getting some birthday pictures printed, and making 'guestimation jars' - where you put candy in a jar and then everyone makes a guess on how many pieces are in it. Whoever guesses the correct number or is the closest gets the jar of candy. It was crazy busy but really fun.
Here are some pictures I took of how it all turned out:
 |
| Here are the 'guestimation jars' we made with pink and brown candy cause the party colors were pink & brown:) |
 |
| The chocolate with chocolate chips cupcakes that I made for the party. |
 |
| My mom made corn salsa and Sundee brought watermelon. We also had a pink homemade grape juice with sprite drink. |
 |
| Kimbri LOVES watermelon! |
 |
| Uncle Nolan plopped some ice cream right down on her tray and she was trying to eat it with her fingers... |
 |
| Strawberries! |
 |
| She was getting tired but just couldn't stop sucking on her watermelon rinds. |
Later we sang Happy Birthday to Kimbri. She was starting to get so tired since it was way after her bedtime but as soon as everyone started singing she just looked around and everyone was staring and singing to her! It was really funny. Then we tried to get her to blow a candle out but as the typical 1 year old would do, she just tried to grab it:) So I blew it out for her. Then we let her start in on the cupcake eating event.
 |
| She just tried to go right down for it with her mouth! |
 |
| Yuuuummmm...this is good. |
 |
| Sugar high? I think yes. Haha :) |
 |
| One very excited birthday girl! |
Then we had present time! I only got two pictures because when she opened that second gift she wouldn't have anything to do with anything else! We eventually got box that it had come in with wrapping paper and stuck her in it and boy did she love that. So we hid the other toy and tried to get her to open the rest of her presents. She loved them all. Thank you to everyone for the gifts you gave to Kimbri. She's been playing with them all day long!

| A big pink ball from the Stone kids :) |

| A sea animals light up & music toy from the Haycock's. |
Kimbri's Great Grandma & Grandpa gave her two new bibs. The kind that go over the head and are really big! We love those kind!
Kimbri's Grandma and Grandpa Stone gave her two new darling outfits and a shirt along with some bath toys that she used in the bath just this morning and loved! They also sneaked in a bag of Snickers for Rick and I. Thank you:)
Diana, Josh and Maylie got Kimbri two new adorable outfits! We'll have to dress Maylie and Kimbri up together and get some pictures of those two girls!!
Kimbri's Grandma and Grandpa Haycock got her two new toys - a sea animal toy and a toy with balls that you drop down different holes and it makes a sound as it rolls out. They also got her three new outfits that are so cute!
Aunt Olivia got her a little pink and white cowgirl hat and a new baby doll with a carrier.
Rick and I got her a couple gifts too. We got her a few new books, a sippy cup, and a little swimming pool cause she loves the water and it will be perfect for the rest of the summer to have at our house!
Happy 1st Birthday Kimbri! We love you!
