Katy's Birthday Party

Here are just a few of the pictures taken on Katy's birthday. I will post a full album up on my Facebook page, hopefully a little later today. If you don't use Facebook and would like to see more, just let me know and I can send you the album by email to view online at Snapfish. The birthday's girl first experience of cake will be in the next post... very soon to follow!

Thanks to all of our friends who came & shared Katy's first birthday with us... you helped make it a truly memorable day! And thanks for all the best wishes from all the many friends & family who couldn't be there in person. For all you fellow-Canadians, we'll be bringing Katy back to Moose Jaw this coming Tuesday, Aug. 28th, for a week, so we hope to see you while we're there!

Katy with her Nana Tittle, who was with us for the week leading up to Katy's birthday. She was also one of our two great photographers of the day (along with our friend Baker). Thanks for all your help!

People gather to sing to Katy and enjoy a piece of birthday cake
Katy's shocked expression as everyone breaks into singing "Happy Birthday!"
Katy & Tyler (who is 5 days older than Katy)... we met Tyler's parents in our Bradley birthing class. And here they are one year later, no longer just a foot in their mommy's sore ribs!
For once we remembered to get a picture of the 3 of us!
Katy takes the time to thoughtfully read a card before moving on to the giftKaty definitely enjoys the unwrapping process (she opened some of the many gifts that night at home just before bedtime)
The best gift of all... from the ones who know her best (aka Mommy & Daddy)... a cell phone!!
