Kaidence's 1st Birthday Party!!

We had a fun 1st birthday Party at Somewhere Inn Time. We had both families get together to celebrate!! We had Pork sandwiches salad's and homemade beans.. The food was really Yummy.. Thank you to my mother and mother in law for helping me with the food. :)
We sang Happy Birthday and let her have her own Cake.. She had a lot of fun!! We then opened presents..
There were so many kids and they were so excited and Kaidence didn't really care, so i had all the cousins open the presents! We all had a lot of fun and are so lucky that both Families came to share that special day!! We love all of you! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GIFTS AND SPENDING TIME WITH US!!

Kaidence's NICU donations.

Kaidence had a great 1st Birthday. For her birthday this year, because she was a preemie last year and spent a lot of time in the NICU, we thought we would make donation to the NICU this year. We had our Family and Friends donate blanket, socks, Hats, and scrap booking supplies to the hospital. We got about 75 blankets.. A lot better than i had hoped. We attached the following letter to each blanket. Thank you to everyone that had helped us make this success full. We dropped them off with a Goodie basket from Kneaders that my mom also donated. The nurses loved it!!
