IC Birthday Party

Karen and my mom helped me put together a little birthday party for Kellan while we were visiting for spring break. Everyone had a fun time and Kellan especially enjoyed when people sang to him. He clapped very hard for himself at the end.

We had a little Sesame Street theme.

Karen made amazingly beautiful and equally delicious cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for the party.




Everyone enjoyed the cakes.







One of Kellan's favorite gifts: a firetruck with sirens and many loud noises. Thank you Judy! :)


Emma: a little overwhelmed by all of the crazy boys.


More unwrapping...Kellan is one loved child!


security

between this...
and this...
no one is entering this house without permisson. I know I'm feeling pretty safe and secure.

"good tent"

Nana gave Kellan a "pre-birthday party present" so the kids at his party would have something fun to do. We set this up on Saturday night and Kellan says it's his "good tent". He loved climbing through the tube, playing inside the tent, and throwing balls all over the room with Nana. On Sunday, the kids at the birthday party had a great time in the tent.




Beautiful Colorado

Last weekend we had a wonderful Colorado spring day. The weather was perfect for some time at the park. Kellan loves everything to do with the park, especially climbing, slides, and swings.







busy boy

Our mall has a great indoor play area for little kids. Jaffa and I have taken Kellan to play several times when it's been cold or dark outside. He gets lots of exercise by running and climbing. He also likes the little tables made of chalkboards. It's a nice spot to burn some energy.

play-doh

I found a recipe online for homemade playdoh. We even dug out some old cookie cutters. He had a good time. My hands were red, blue, and green from the food coloring for days. :)
