Mckell's very first birthday party!!!

We celebrated Mckell's first birthday last weekend! She had a lot of fun even though she wasn't feeling very well with ear infections.

Mckell and her daddy
Mckell sitting in her new rocking chair she got from G&G Rabe
Playing with Aunt Allison and grandma Astill


Gr. G&G Critchlow were so sweet to come out to the party
My friends Rachael, Cassi, and Ali also came to help celebrate
Mckell loved opening all her presents, her favorites have been her baby from us and lap top from G&G Astill
Tessa, Kambree, and Mckell checking out the new toys
And of course the traditional 'eat your very own cake'
She was just curious at first
and confused because we were letting her get it all over her hands and didn't know quite what to think

But ended up not too happy because she couldn't get the frosting off her hands, didn't help she wasn't feeling well too. None of us wanted to hold her and she was just screaming reaching for us. We were all just laughing at her, poor girl!
Getting cleaned up in the tub
Sporting her new jammies from the Astill's
Eating some veggies, we had forgotten to feed her real food in all the commotion. And a shout out to Rachael for putting Mckell's hair in her very first pony! I'm going to have to practice to get one in- she always screams every time I try.

Mckell sure had a fun birthday party. Thanks everyone for coming and helping make her first birthday a hit!
