You never forget your first… Although, I have no idea what my first birthday was like? I wonder if Kaia will remember hers. Today I was able to finally secure the venue for Kaia first birthday party. Last week Mandi and I sat down and made a list of prospective guest, food, snacks, games, and toys. We settled somewhere in the ballpark of 120 potential guest!! Hopefully we will be able to whittle that number down to about 30 – 40.
The planning part is the most time consuming. Once the day arrives, I think it will be smooth sailing but putting it all together, getting the list out, and ordering enough cupcakes for everyone will be the challenge. With all the planning and hoopla I hope it doesn’t take away from the reason we are all there.
On Friday September 10th 2010 at 11:32 pm, Kaia Grace King took her first breath on earth. She had been alive and kicking for 9 months prior, but that moment was the first time she passed into our world. Life is such a beautiful thing. The ability to create one is reason enough to celebrate. As I first laid teary eyes on Kaia, I have not been able to stop smiling. As she has grown immensely in the past 11 months, those first moments with her are memories the will be etched in my mind for an eternity.
It easy to get caught up in the birthday plans. Just like Christmas though, it is most important to remember the reason for the season. This First birthday and all those to follow will be about the wonderful gift that was delivered to the world late one Friday evening. And this, is a reason to celebrate!!
