Minnie Mouse Invite

This was the invitation for Kinzie's Minnie Mouse Birthday Party!

The awesome map that Richard drew/made!

Kinzie is a HUGE fan of Minnie Mouse--she loves her and loves watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse--she gets so excited...it's hilarious! Here's Kinzie modeling her Minnie Mouse outfits!

We love our sweet little Minnie:)

Kinzie's 1st BIrThDaY!! (afternoon)

After Kinzie woke up from her nap, I took her to do one of her favorite activities--play at the Mall Playground/Toys. Since Richard was at work, my mom tagged along with us and joined the fun:)

(Sorry the pictures are so blurry--the lighting in the mall was horrible and I was just using my little camera...bad combination)

Kinzie loved the tunnels!

She would scoot on her bum from one end to the other and back again. over and over and over, back and forth, back and forth. She could do that for hours. She especially liked it when I would beat her to the other side and poke my head in...she'd giggle then hurry and turn around to get away from me. So fun:)
Silly us! HA

Best Buddies!

This was her FAVORITE! honestly, I thought she'd be terrified sitting next to the cat because it's so big...but nope, she took to lovin on it right away! She loves 'kitty cats' so she was ecstatic!

For the last few months or so, she has been big into giving 'luvs' and 'kisses'! She gives them to all her toys, dolls, books, animals, blankets, etc. This is her giving 'luvs' to the kitty cat.

just one of the passengers!

Kissing the kitty cat!

Finally we got her off the kitty ride and onto the train she went. Some friendly little girl decided to join her:)

Kinzie wasn't too sure what to think of that girl crashing her party!

She wasn't too fond of the big blue truck:)

But she did like the motorcycle...probably only because it had a fun button to push!

I love being Mommy!

After we wore ourselves out (and used lots of sanitizer!!), the three of us went to dinner at IHOP's where Kinzie got another FREE meal of mac & cheese and fries:)

What a fun and busy birthday! So grateful to have this sweet 1 year old as part of our family!

Kinzie's 1st BIrThDaY!! (morning)

Kinzie turned 1 on the 9th of February! When I heard her waking up, I walked into her room singing Happy Birthday and shot this pic. The light was turned off and the flash was a bit bright I guess--not sure if she enjoyed that wake-up call;)

After getting her up and dressed...it was breakfast time! She LOVES muffins!
She thought that was a pretty cool candle! or maybe she just wanted to hurry and get it out so she could devour that muffin:)

LoVe this Sassy look!

Then it was time to OpEn PreSenTs!! Thanks to Christmas, she is a pro at opening gifts and absolutely loves it!

YUM!

Her pretty outfits from Mommy!

Opening a present from Daddy!

She AdoReS this toy!! It was her favorite present of the day!

Playing with her new toy with daddy!

We then took her to get her pictures taken (see previous post)!

Then we took her to Wingers for lunch to redeem her Free Kids Meal Birthday Coupon! She had macaroni & cheese and chocolate milk! More of her favorites:)

Then daddy had to leave for work (he was working the night shift at the time), but we weren't done partying yet!!

You'll remember from my previous post that she didn't like her cake during her cake smash too much because of getting frosting on her hands...well, after lunch, I cut her a piece of her cake, set it on her tray, and she ate it like a champ!! silly girl. so proper--doesn't want the whole thing at once...just a piece here and there:)

Then Grandma Sheri came over and brought a present and balloons! Grandma spoiled her with a couple of outfits, Minnie Mouse socks, and fruit snacks (plus more at her bday party)! Thanks mom!

Then it was nap time!!! What a fun birthday morning we had!
