Yeah, not mine. But you know I can still find a way to make this post about me. Just kidding. We were so excited to be there to celebrate Kiptyn’s 1st birthday. Kiptyn is very special (for many reasons), but also because he is the very first child of the Wabasha 5. Basically the rest of our children are destined to be besties so we’re hoping he turns out to be a good influence and a good duet partner like his mama. 
The banana bars were my contribution to the monkey-themed party! I hate bananas, but i can stomach banana bread so I gave them a try. Sweet & tasty!
There he is! I probably should’ve led with that, huh?
Deidre was super creative, and did an amazing job planning tons of fun stuff for Kip’s party. And you KNOW I love that she incorporated bunting!
Another precious partygoer! Can you imagine Kip & James going to Emmaus together someday? Haha. I had to check the other pictures to make sure this was James. It’s so easy to confuse little babies. Does anyone else have that problem? Could just be me. I need my eyes checked. Seriously. Lol.
I love these girls! I was a little bummed that I was so fashionably late when the Dubuquers were around all afternoon, but I really loved seeing everybody!
Kevin & I. I just have to point out the subtle matching point that is not available for viewing in this photograph. Orange gingham shirt + skinny orange belt = love.
It was the BEST kid’s birthday party I have ever been to! I wanted to stay longer. I wish it had been a SLUMBER PARTY! My pictures didn’t turn out great (I don’t know why considering I have such an AWESOME camera) so I just stole these from Deidre/Amy and Kristy.
Can’t wait for his second birthday!
such a beautiful little boy! I love your header
