Kate's First Birthday

October 28 is Kate's birthday, and we celebrated all weekend long with family and friends. Her party was on Saturday, and featured presents and cake. That's it. No big production, nothing too scheduled, just cake and presents. Presents and cake. It was great. Thanks to all of our good friends and family who were able to stop by and celebrate with us.

Nothing-- not icing or dog or cardboard would keep her from eating the cake. She grabbed it by the handful and stuck her face in it. She ended up with it in her hair and ears and eyes, which is when she finally had to stop. She ate almost half of the little cake. Here are the pics...
