2nd 2nd Birthday Party!

Friday we drove to Ft. Worth so we would be in town Saturday to celebrate Gracie's first birthday. Since we were coming up so close to Kendall's birthday, we had a party for her with our families on Friday night. Kendall was very excited about it and talked all week about "Happy Day Kengal" and practiced blowing out her candles.
It was so nice to see all of our family. Everyone helped out with the party - Mom and David got Kendall's cake, Gigi and Peeps got her balloons, and Pops and Kiki brought ice cream and ice for the drinks. It was nice to be able to pull into town right before the party and not have to worry about anything. Val and Dohe even ran by the store for us for some drinks and forks! Our trip up was a little slower than usual because it was our first trip potty trained. Kendall did great though, and even though we had a few false alarms, we had no accidents going up or coming back!
Kendall's cake was precious. I think Aunt Auggie got some better pictures of just the cake, but it was so cute and Kendall loved it. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, she enjoyed sticking her finger in the icing and licking it. She would even give you some if you asked!


Of course she loved getting to sing Happy Birthday and blow out her candles again! She kept trying to blow after every phrase of the song, but didn't get them all the way blown out until the end. She just loves doing that! Thank goodness Granny and Papas got her the Melissa and Doug Birthday Cake - she has been playing with it a ton and singing the song over and over again and then blowing out the candles. Today she wanted to play with it and needed me to get it down for her, so she ran up to me and said, "Mommy! Happy Day Kengal!" Look at how red her face is in this picture! She was blowing so hard!
Here she was asking her cousin Gracie if she wanted some ice cream. I've got a few videos I'll load later and one of them is her talking to Gracie and feeding her. Such a good BIG cousin!

We loved seeing all our family. We don't get to see everyone every time we are up there, so it was great to be able to see everyone at once!

Granny and Papas got Kendall a piggy bank! She has been very into "Kengal's Money" lately, and when she opened a whole baggie of coins from her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, she was over the moon!

Brenda and Wayne got her a princess puzzle and a raincoat. So cute!

I don't have pictures of everything that she got, but she really got a lot of great presents - some toys and things to play with, but a lot of great summer and spring clothes she can wear soon. Mom liked that! Thanks family for celebrating Kendall's birthday with us! It was a great party!
