Kayleigh's birthday dinner



We had Erik's family over for a pizza dinner last night. We bought pizza from Costco. It's really good if you have a membership and have never eaten their pizza! (Don't I get a refund if I plug their products??) We always have fun together, and there is never a dull moment with all of us around. I'm pretty sure the girls are trying to figure out why all of the men's voices become so much louder when they're together. We ladies still didn't have to talk that loudly to be heard over their yells. I guess it's a man thing...
Kayleigh was a little shy at first, but food brought her out of her shell. She ate a whole piece of pizza and then was ready to get down and play with her cousins Thor and Zac. It was funny because Kayleigh would keep a constant eye on Zac and then want to do whatever he was doing. You'll get to see that in the picture of Erik spinning Kayleigh around. Erik did it with Zac, so he had to spin Kayleigh around, too.
One thing we noticed this year from last was the change in how Kayleigh and Thor ate their cupcakes. Last year, Kayleigh was very delicate with hers at first. I guess in the last 365 days, she's realized how good icing and cake is. This year she went at it, and Thor was the less messy one.
Thanks everyone for your cards, emails and calls. I think it was a great day.

Where has the time gone? She's such a cutie. We can't wait to have her to ourselves next week - oh, this week. :)
We do need to see her with Mumble though to show how she has grown.
