Valerie and my parents waited until this morning to give Kayleigh gifts. We didn't get to my parents' house until after 10 last night. It would have been too late to try to get good pictures and let Kayleigh enjoy it. Valerie gave Kayleigh a fun new toy. Mom and Dad bought Kayleigh a bunch of cute clothes, a bathing suit cover up, and a really cute towel that looks like a butterfly. I'll have to get a picture of that one. NCS girls, expect to see it Monday!
We didn't really have a party for Kayleigh tonight. It was more like dinner and birthday cake for dessert. Valerie, Mom and I went to a baby shower this afternoon, picked Grandma up afterward, and then came home for dinner. Dad grilled some DELICIOUS steaks and corn on the cob. Instead of baked potatoes, Mom made potato salad. Mom was going to buy a cake, but then Valerie reminded her of her grandmotherly duties--she's supposed to make the grandkid's birthday cake. Not wanting to break tradition so early in Kayleigh's life (is it really a tradition yet???), Mom complied. Aunt Anne will be happy to know that Kayleigh was highly uninterested in making a mess of the cake. She didn't want anything to do with it. She did enjoy some icing and ice cream, and eventually ate part of a cupcake.
While Mom and I took Grandma home, Kayleigh's sugar high kicked in, and she was all over the place. That meant another late night for her--it was almost 10 PM when she crashed and burned!

Kayleigh is a real little lady- a cupcake cutie! That cake thing all over your body is not that lovely or memorbale.
The photo of the four generations is absolutely priceles- a real treasure. Kayleigh seems to feel the love, as it is expressed in all of your smiles.
