Kadyn's Family Party

We decided to have a separate party for the family. We did not think the men would enjoy the tea party, and to be honest two one year old boys could have wreaked havoc in there! So here are some pictures from her family party.
Here she is playing with some of her new art sets that her friends gave her. The rest of us are beginning to eat!










Here are the Branch boys--all eating together.













Now- it is time for presents. Kadyn chose to open her presents before having cake! Imagine that! She is definitely my child!












Pictures from Camp Thurman! She was so excited.










NEW CLOTHES!! Thank you Aunt Kaci, Uncle Clay and Jonathan!













Here is the birthday bear that was the beginning of her present from Granny Leen, Uncle Mikey, Uncle David, and Bob. There was lots more where the bear came from! Clothes, mermaid, and a ballet jewlery box!







How special that Mrs. Maryanne got the be here! She knew just what Kadyn would want! Her very own purse!!!













The last gift was too big to wrap. So it was sitting outside the front door. While Granny Lou and Pop brought it inside, Kadyn had to close her eyes! I was so proud of her! She did it! Here she is waiting.









Here it is-- her very own desk! She has been asking for her own desk since she is starting school. The desk even matches her room! The base and chair are painted purple. Thanks Granny Lou and Pop! Now it is time for cake!







Of course- we had to have the cake sitting on the new desk. This was quite interesting since the top of the desk slants! The last picture will show the cake. Kadyn decorated her cake with a little help. However, she decided what she wanted and what went where! It was definitely a one of a kind original! She was so proud!







Another year gone by..... Kadyn immediately began playing with all her new luit and well changing clothes numerous times over the next few days! I believe it was not even 24 hours later that she was already planning next year's birthday!
