I'm not thinking all about just the adults
having fun, I want to remember her first
birthday as being something special.. I
think all of her birthdays are going to be
made special but turning 1 just seems like
a huge milestone for me. I don't know.. I
appreciate all the good ideas guys &
Sandy, kids like decorations &
balloons too.. It wouldn't be just for the
adults. I'm decorating no matter what I
just wanted ideas.

i know they do.. but i've been to a lot of
1 yr olds birthday parties.. im just
suggesting not to waste a lot of money
because from personal experience they just
dont care. They arent old enuf to enjoy
going all out.
shes going to have a good time regardless
of what everything looks like. Just having
friends and family there, especially her
mommy and daddy.

Michelle, I think you should definitely go
all out if that's what you'd like to do.
We had lots of decorations at Alyvia's
birthday party at the lake, and it was
amazing! I took lots of pictures, and it
was definitely a celebration of my baby
girl's first birthday. And it's just as
much about you as it is about Kaylee! What
mother doesn't take the time to look back
at the year that's gone by since she's
given birth?
Don't let people discourage you from going
overboard with decorations. So Kaylee
isn't old enough to really appreciate
them... so what? It's all fun, and it's a
celebration. And the pictures will be
amazing, and you'll have a
blast. Definitely have fun with it, and
don't let people talk you out of it if
it's what you want to do.
I think certain people here need to stop
being snippy and sarcastic about
everything, and take a breather or
something.

Thanks Laura! I'm getting more & more
excited as it gets closer! We're def.
going all out for it, Shane's so excited,
it's cute. His mom never really had
birthday parties for him growing up, it
was more about expensive gifts to them
rather than celebrating with their little
boy so we're going to have tons of fun
with this!

Definitely take loads of pictures! We want

Will you be having the party at the cabin
or somewhere else?

Oh I will be going picture crazy that day,
probably in between crying because my baby
is growing up! We're having it down at the
cabin, as long as my family stops having a
fit because *god forbid* they have to
drive 20 minutes out of town 
Gotta love family..

aww, what's 20 minutes? Especially if they
get to spend time with the birthday girl!
I would love to have your property, it
would be awesome for a big cook out. And
the kids could run around outside and
play. I can't wait until we can look into
buying our dream home.

Apparently that 20 minutes is too much for
some of the people in my family. Mostly 2
of my aunts & my grandma. They don't
approve of us living that far out in the
country with a baby anyway so of course
they aren't going to want to see the
place.. I said something to my one aunt
the other day about me sending the
invitations out as soon as we figure out
what Shane's schedule is at his new job
& she just rolled her eyes at me &
asked me where we were having it. I told
her "Over at the cabin" & she gave me
this look like "Okay I guess I'm not going
then.." I hate it..
I can just picture the party now though as
long as everything goes as planned.. The
cakes.. The messy pictures.. The cookout..
Kids playing.. Games.. It's going to be so
much fun

Michelle, this is your first baby and she
will never get to turn 1 year old
again........CELEBRATE your keesters off.
As for the people who can't seem to ride
20 meesly minutes for Miss Kaylee's
special day, its their
loss..............don't sweat it. This is
not about them. I have to drive over 3
hours to see my family...............THey
are the ones who will regret not
coming.................you only live once
and you can't get time back......HAVE A
BLOW OUT PARTY for that baby and tell her
Fairy*Godmother wishes she could be
there...........

Very well put FairyGodMother. I've got
relatives that expect you to come to their
kids parties, but won't show their face to
ours. So we just shorten our guest list to
people we like

my *sarcasm* was in response to a very
selfish remark that was made. Mandi was
implying that the party was mainly for the
parents which im sorry i thought was
completely out of line.
So be it if i was sarcastic about
that. I never got rude about the
whole having a party for the child issue.

Because God forbid the parents actually
celebrate their child's birthday and enjoy
themselves, right?  And Mandi
didn't imply anything other than if
Michelle wants to go all out, she should.
It's a family celebration. How
exactly is that selfish?
Whatever, I'm done. Good luck, Michelle!

She's doing well, thanks! We're getting
her 1 year portraits back soon, so I'll be
posting pics when I get them. She's got 4
teeth now and she's waving hi/bye and
shaking her head when she hears "no". And
she's getting so great at walking!
*sigh* she's growing up!
