Kennedy is ONE...cute as a button...and so much FUN!

I can't believe I am actually blogging Kennedy's FIRST birthday.  I was looking back at all the posts I have made this year, so many tears and smiles over these amazing months.  We are truly blessed with such a beautiful, healthy, happy little girl that makes us smile every single day.  I loved planning her first birthday and the party was a huge success!  She is so loved and we were so happy so many people came to celebrate her special day with us.   It was not only a big day for Miss Kennedy but also for our family, as we announced that Baby G2 will be arriving in April 2013!  Kennedy will be such a great big sister!  I am sure my blog will get more interesting as we begin the journey into the life with 2 children :)  Exciting times ahead for the Graf Family for sure!

Good Morning Birthday Girl!  I was so happy that she woke  up early on her birthday so I could see her before I left for work.

 

Yea, it's MY birthday!

 

 Pancakes made with love from Daddy...and no she didn't even make a dent...wonder who finished them?? :)

 

The party is starting!!  She was spoiled for sure!

 

 Cute as Button...and no one left hungry thanks to Nini and Maw Maw! 

 

 I tried to incorporate buttons where ever I could!

 

 Not the best picture but it shows the cute as a button shirt I had made for her!

 

 Having some lunch with Maw Maw!

 

  Why are all these people singing Happy Birthday to me?  Daddy usually sings that!

 

The BIG REVEAL present from Mommy and Daddy :)  All the kids wanted to help open it!

 

 What's inside?  Well Kennedy could care less, she just likes to play with ribbons and strings!

 

 Pink and Blue balloons up, up, and away!  What will Baby G2 be?

 

 Kennedy is going to be a BIG SISTER in April! Yay!

 

 Kennedy is telling Nini in this picture since she didn't get it!

 

Maw Maw was shocked! 

 Time for cake!

And cupcakes!

 Kennedy wasn't into her cake at all...maybe she will be an ice cream girl like Mommy!

Maybe Uncle Eric wants some....

 Family Picture Opp :)

The cutest booty I have ever seen...I have to laugh because Kennedy was literally in her "birthday suit" for the cake pictures because her diaper was so full from swimming with Uncle Matty!  I am sure she will kill me one day for the nude pictures of her eating her cake, haha!

 TIme for presents!   She got SO many great things, thank you everyone!
I love this backpack my Aunt got her :)

 A Happy Birthday cake for the Birthday girl!  Still has her backpack on!

 Eating her cards...

 She wanted to play with the ribbons more than anything, of course!

 Her first baby doll and stroller...notice what she is playing with though!

 Drinking her baby's milk and watching TV while we open gifts, haha!

 I am all done Mommy!

The aftermath!
