This is Kaiya realizing that the gift bags have something in them. :) Once she figured that out, there was no stopping her. Here she is w/ Tony & his mom, Nanna. 





These were taken a couple days early when a package came in the mail from Grandpa & Grammi.


Kaiya & Hannah (Nate & Maurine's little one) Cute little girls!

Jen & AJ (Kaiya plays w/ AJ all day when Mama is working.)

Okay, the moment we all were waiting for. :) Kaiya was so sweet when we sang Happy Birthday to her. She sat there like it was completely normal for 10 adults to sing to her. She patiently waited smiling for all the cameras while we sang. Although we had been practicing blowing, there was way too much curiousness about the candle flame. I should have practiced with the real thing. She just wanted to touch it. :) So Mama blew it out -- and Kaiya got her fingers in the wax. I think the mystery of the candle is solved. Probably won't be touching it again. :) Anyway... onto the cupcake. I found a cake mix at whole foods -- no wheat, dairy or refined sugar/flour. Same with the icing. My sisters and I did a taste test, it wasn't quite like a Duncan Hines, but it wasn't bad either. Had the texture of cornbread. Here are the cake pics:

Fascination w/ the flame...





And that's just about as much as she ate. Didn't have to worry about a sugar rush at all.

Kaiya & Libby (from small group) playing w/ her new ball.

Friends from small group got Kaiya this great pink ball. She loves playing on it. Daddy layed her on her tummy over the top of the ball and bounced her last night and she was just giggling non-stop. I can see this is going to bring us a lot of fun for awhile.
