On Saturday we celebrated McKenna and Kaya's first birthday!
The family gathered in Blackfoot at the Clark's house to celebrate with food and gifts.
It was a lot of fun, and a rare occasion to have all four of the cousins together playing. Usually when they are together, one is napping, while the other is crying- and the other two are playing.

It's so great to see them together, and watch them interact- but it's heartbreaking to see how big they are all getting.
This is Parker, very happy with herself, after she had stolen the walker from one of the twins. Luckily, they are all still at that stage where if one toy gets taken away, they move onto the next. Parker is very...secure, borderline aggressive. It's something we're still working on...
She did laps around the livingroom with this walker, and smiled and giggled at each person she passed.
This was my responsibility for the party. Mara asked if I would bring some cupcakes, and she didn't care what they tasted like, or looked like. So I thought, GREAT!! I took creative license to try out one of the many cupcake recipes I had been hoarding, and dying to try. So, I made Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes. I will be posting the recipe on my foodie blog soon.
After 3 hours of non-stop crawling, stealing toys, and pure unadulterated 10 month old fun, Parker was exhausted. (I hope to one day keep this picture and later use it as bribery.)
Overall, it was an awesome day- and I am so looking forward to planning and celebrating our little monkey's first birthday. ♥
