Happy Birthday Pumpkin!

Karlee is 1 today! I can't believe it. We had her cupcake party yesterday. It was so much fun and chaotic at the same time. Karlee got an early birthday present Thursday when she went to the doctor. After a flu test, RSV test, and strep test, it was determined that she had a really bad sinus infection. Her white count was really high. After confirming nothing was contagious, we continued on with party planning. I made cupcakes and Karlee's cake all day Friday. I sat Karlee on the counter and she helped me whisk her cake batter. I had to hold her other hand to keep it from wondering into the bowl. Hudson Galimore came over with Jay Friday night so he helped me decorate the rest of the cupcakes. Karlee enjoyed him being there because it gave her an excuse to show (take out!) everything in her toy box. Saturday was fun. Karlee loved her chocolate cake. She touched it a little then sucked the chocolate off her fingers before really diving in. Diving in is literal. She bent over and stuck her whole mouth and nose into the cake. She came up smiling and laughing. It was absolutely priceless. Karlee loved opening her presents. She had a little help from Rolley Len Kirk. They are just under two weeks apart. We celebrate Rolley Len's birthday next Sunday. More cake, yeah!! Thanks to the grandparents, Karlee was spoiled like Christmas all over again. We are in desperate need of an extension on our house! Happy Birthday Pumpkin! Mommy and Daddy love you so much. Thank you for being such a joy to our lives.
