Kiera's birthday and thanksgiving were both successful events for us. We spent both in Pheniox AZ with part of steve's family. We watched a SUNS game which was cool/different and stayed overnight in a hotel. Since I didn't want Kiera and Danthony sleeping in the same room (since he always wakes up at 5am, I put Kiera in the bathroom in a pack n play that barely fit if we wedged it in. It sure make getting to the toilot interesting though-- it required climbing through the tub. But Kiera slept through our bathroom usage.
Thanksgiving dinner was good but differnt. Store bought rolls just are not the same. Oh well. Nelsons do a good job in the vegetable category though.
Kiera mauled her first birthday cake (which was the store-bought kind with the lardy-frosting). There is a video and pictures posted-- feel free to view. The trouble came when she was finished and we realized that the water-heater was broke so Kiera had to take a very cold bath. Poor little birthday lady!
She opened her 1 and only gift (from g and g) the day after her birthday. It was a doll and she LOVES it. The first thing she did when we finally got past the packaging was give it a big ol' kiss on the nose. She hauls it around with her which is cute. Thanks g and g for the great dolly gift for my dolly. (does that make me a grandma if my baby has got a baby?)

Cute pics. I sure wish I could have seen her on her first birthday. I miss her. Nobody else bought her a birthday gift for the once in a lifetime 1st birthday?!? Holy cow. I'm glad she likes the doll.

Oh yea...the movie is great! However, a "store bought" cake for the first birthday is kind of...well...it just isn't up to the occasion.

So, what I want to know, is if anyone was brave enough (or hungry enough) to eat the cake when she was done with it? Probably not on Thanksgiving day. So was the water heater busted in the hotel or Devins place?

Does she like the Baby Einstein DVD too?
Fun pictures, thanks for sharing.

nobody wanted any of the nasty store-bought cake to start with. It would have been home-made if we were not staying in a hotel in arizona.

I like Kiera. Glad she enjoyed her cake. Too bad she had to take a cold bath afterwards.

Well, it appears that Kiera enjoyed it enough for everyone!
