Kinsey's 1st Birthday

Well, it's official Kinsey is now a 1 Year Old! It's impossible to believe so many things about that sentence - the time did go by fast, we made it to that milestone, she is doing so well, etc.

As you know, we took her to Disney for her first birthday! Grandma Deb, Pappa Wayne, Pop-Pop, Aunt Cheri, Hope, Patrick and of course Jamie and I were all there to celebrate with her! We weren't sure how she would like it or how long she would last, but boy was she ever the trooper! We had our pictures taken with the princesses; rode Dumbo, the Carousel, and It's Small World twice (she LOVED that one); saw the small parade; took tons of pictures; got Kinsey some Mickey ears; and overall just had a blast.

My aunt and cousin came down from NY and a lot more people (some of you) joined us for Kinsey's official 1st Birthday party today!!! We had perfect weather for the party, had Sonny's BBQ, and the most beautiful ladybug cake from Cinnotti's and cookies (thanks to Camille and Janice from Flippin' Good Cookies). Kinsey got tired during the party and actually fell asleep in someone's arms (she never does that). But we were able to do the cake smashing before that and just had to wait and open presents at our house later. She got a TON of great presents and had fun opening them!

Thanks everyone for all the well-wishes, presents and love!

Tomorrow we move from celebrating the Princess to the Queen and celebrate my birthday (which is on Monday)  :)

Here are the pictures from Disney. Birthday Party pictures are below that!

5 days and counting!!!!

I'm just so excited that Kinsey's birthday is almost here that I don't really have much else to share this week!

We're getting ready for next week's festivities - cleaning the house, taking RSVPs and ordering food for the party, making all our arrangements for our trip to Disney, etc. Dreams Come True came through with a special meet and greet with Cinderella and we got our letter from the Hospice doctor so we can hopefully get a pass to skip the lines at Disney! That will make it much easier for Kinsey to enjoy some rides and things before she gets too pooped out and annoyed. Seems like everything is falling into place. Now we're just hoping the weather cooperates and Kinsey doesn't catch a cold or something (she's had a cold every 3 months like clockwork).

Prayers for a happy, healthy, rain-free 1st Birthday are appreciated :)

No new pictures or video this week, except this one Halloween picture that was on Facebook already, but wasn't in the blog:
