Saturday was the big day and we had her party at the park which was nice so that the kids could play at the playground and we could get things cooked. Ben and I should have gotten there earlier to get things set up but this was our first party away from home and so we didn't know better. Things went well though and Katelynn was having a great time with all her cousins and just being outside with everyone. We are glad we brought her little car for her to be driven around by everyone to the park and the picnic area.
She enjoyed her cake as you saw in the video below. She was a sugary-sticky mess afterwards and I didn't give her a bath until after her nap. She was so tired and just a little cranky on the car ride home.
We opened her presents at Beth's later that day for dinner. She got some books and clothes and toys. Katelynn's favorite was from Brynne. Brynne has been giving her toys that she doesn't play with anymore and this was a little wind up bear that has a lullaby. She has slept with it every night since she got it. Thank you Brynne for your gift of love!
Sunday was Mother's Day. Ben gave me some beautiful pearl earrings that I have been wearing everyday since. And we had another get together at our house.
This weekend was quite busy and full. I can't believe how much was going on. It was nice to have family together for her birthday and to celebrate Mother's Day.
