Our first birthday party

So I'm a LOT late on this post - have so much going on here, no time to sit on the computer!! Kaiya's first birthday party was a HIT!! She had a blast and it was so great getting together with family, we don't do it often enough, though we still missed our out of town family.

Kaiya looked like a little princess in her VERY CUTE pink dress....

Her friend Lilah and her had a very cute hug!!

And then again later in the day...

Our decorations...

The cakes!!

Not sure what to think about it....

YUMMY!

Great Grandma Ryback and Kai

Great-Grandma being silly - that is one of kaiya's favorite toy though - her Roundy's bucket! Auntie Mary Jo holding her.

Present time!! Got lots of great gifts!

Playing in her ball pit with cousin, Peyton.

Kaiya got this purple chair for her birthday and she absolutely LOVES it - its perfect for her...just her size and did I mention she LOVES it!?

Holidays - Family, Friends and Projects

We had a very nice holiday season at the Kraner household. We got to see family and friends we haven't seen in awhile. Josh and I had a nice two weeks off together to hang out with Kaiya, family, friends and get some work done around the house. However, we are both sad our vacation ends tomorrow and we both have to head back to the real world...if only money grew on trees.
