Happy Birthday!

Friday was Korbyn's first birthday!!!  We had a birthday party for her at our house the weekend of the 29th, we made it a costume party since it was so close to hallowen.  The reason we didn't do it this weekend, which is closer to her actual birthday, is because it's opening weekend of deer season...I know that might not sound like a big deal but to our families and friends it is! 

We could not have asked for a more perfect day.  The weather was beautiful, everyone had a great time, and most importantly Korbyn was absolutely perfect :)  The party started at 4 p.m. so I wanted to make sure she was well rested, so she got two naps and woke up right at 4 and was in the best mood.  In fact, she stayed in that great mood until 10:30 that night, woohoo Korbyn!!!

 Korbyn was a bat for her party and for halloween and I was so proud of her for keeping it on.  She really didn't have a problem with it on at all!  I ordered it online several months ago and I'm glad I did because I had to make some adjustments to the headpiece.  In the picture it showed a baby about her size and of course it looks perfect, well when I tried it on her it was way too big, it almost looked like it was made for an adult.  But my sewing machine was put to good use once again as I made it a perfect fit for my lil' bat :)
 Way more people dressed up than I thought actually would.  I would love to make this a tradition and continue to do this every year for her birthday (costume/birthday party), but we'll have to see, it cost a pretty penny to put a party on these days!
 Four generations of beautiful ladies :)  Korbyn, me, my mom and her mom.
 At least I got him to put on some kind of costume.  Colton was pretty hesitant about the party, I think it's just because he gets shy and was worried nobody would dress up and I would be disappointed.  But after he saw how much fun everyone was having I'm sure he'll be ready to do it again next year!

 After the party Colton and I were going through the pictures and when we got to this one he said "who's that?!"  I laughed and said that's Lois! (my sister-in-law)  These are actually both of my sister-in-laws.  When they got there Lois was dressed in normal clothes and I went up to her and jokingly asked her where her costume was and she pulled me aside and said "shhh...don't draw any attention to me because I'm going to dress up as something later and I don't want people to know it's me!"  So a couple of hours later Lois is nowhere to be found but this gorilla who doesn't talk is just mingling with everyone.  It was absolutely hilarious!!!  She would just come up behind people and not say anything and scare the crap out of them when they finally realized she was there.  In fact, I'm not sure if Katie knows that she's even behind her when I took this picture haha!
I have to admit, this party would have been nothing without the help of my parents and Colton's mom and step-dad.  They were such a huge help with all the decorations and setting up.  My mom did an amazing job on Korbyn's cakes too.  And yes, the big jack-o-lantern is all edible and it was DELICIOUS!
I can't believe my beautiful little girl is a year old.  Korbyn, I'm so proud of the little person you have become and I can't wait to experience many more birthdays with you...happy birthday baby :)
