We had an amazing time at Kate's Birthday Party today. So many friends were there and so many kids were there. It was chaos in a wonderful way. Kate had a great time being with everyone. God has blessed us with such great friends and family that care about our little girl so much. Special thanks to Kirk for doing the cooking for us so that Jared could enjoy the day with Kate. That is a priceless gift. Below are the pictures from the party. Although it might seem like an overabundance of detail I wanted to give out of town family a feel for what it was like to be there. Especially my Mom who called at the last minute to say she couldn't come. She works in the Senate and our President decided that the Senate would be in session both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. There are not many little girls who can say that their Mimi wasn't able to come to their first birthday party because of the President!Please enjoy the day through pictures.

Everyone left a birthday note for Kate on this frame. I am going to put a picture of her from the party in it.

A true Daddy's girl if there ever was!
Mommy's girl. I love this picture because you can see Jared in the background showing off Carson. 
My personal favorite of the day
She is pat patting me and saying, "Mama." Melt my heart!
I love this one. Pure Kate, with a bow and her thumb.
Bonding with Bear over a pre-cupcake lunch
She really surprised me with her cupcake. At first she daintily picked at the frosting, then she really enjoyed it! 
Opening presents with Mommy
Kate loved being with the tissue paper and cards. She left the present opening to Mommy.

Thank you Betsy & Jared for posting these wonderful pictures of Kate's first Birthday. She's absolutely adorable in her pink party dress! Looks like she had a wonderful time and was surrounded by many family members and friends. I wanted to be there so badly, but work trip in CA wouldn't allow this time. I thought about you 4 all day long and can't wait to see you soon.
Love
Auntie Tress
