These seem to have loaded all out of order. I guess this is proof that I am a little rusty at blogging these days. I almost didn't do anything for Kathryn's first birthday. I was feeling really tired and worn out around that time, but I kept thinking I finally have a little girl I have to do something. To be honest I don't think these pictures even do the decorations justice. I spent many hours making tissue flowers, tissue pom poms, and flower cupcakes. In fact I made Doug walk around with a mini saw trying to locate the perfect branches to use. We thought for certain the Cops were going to get called as we sawed at some of our neighbors branches at 12:30 in the morning.

Some of the food that we had that day. I made Mini
Frittatas, Doughnut Muffins(thanks Caitlin), bite size twice baked potatoes, and fresh fruit Kabobs. I decided to make it a brunch which was really fun.
This is a sampling of some of the cupcakes I made for the event. I loved how they turned out...they were so
dainty and girlie. What can I say we have made a lot of car/monster truck cakes around this house over the last few years, so it was nice to do something pretty.

I love this picture of Kathryn and Doug. What can I say, the girl loves her Daddy.
There were these bright green beetles that kept flying into my tissue flowers. Their back was a bright shiny green and they were sooo loud as they flew around. Everyone kept dodging them.
Our little Kathryn girl. We love her so much!! She has been such a good little baby it almost tempts me to have another. I mean look at that cute little face. :)
