Kensi's 1st Birthday Party

These pictures are long over due but my excuse is that we have had a crazy past few weeks and all my energy has been geared towards Kensi, Kyle and work. So I am sorry to those (and you know who you are!) that have been waiting for these pictures for almost 4 weeks!

March 22, 2014 - Kensi's First Birthday and birthday party!

Kensi is one special girl - her Aunt Kelli and Grandma and Grandpa Marks were able to come to Georgia to celebrate her 1st birthday with her.  We had a busy weekend ahead of us, party on Saturday and I ran a 1/2 marathon on that Sunday (what was I thinking!). So we were very excited to get the weekend going and celebrate the life of our precious 1 year old.

Birthday morning breakfast - one tired girl!!

Kelli saved the day with making the cupcakes and smash cake - everyone loved the cupcakes and they looked so professional and pretty! And mom saved the day with making most of the food! Thank goodness for wonderful women in Kensi's life to help her crazy mom! 

Banners that I got from etsy that matched the invitation :) Elephants and pink and gray chevron, pretty girly, but not too girly, that's what Kensi requested.

Of course, the Dupree boys had to have some fun too!

She wasn't very sure of what to do with this cake in front of her....she didn't eat much of it, but definitely played with it and made a mess :)

Uncle Tommy and Seesha!

The best family picture we could get...

Mad at myself for not getting a good picture with Kelli and my parents! I always forget to document special times in our lives! ugh! But they were there and that's what really matters :)

This past year, has been the craziest and busiest yet but we wouldn't change it for the world. The year has flown by! It feels like yesterday that we were in the hospital waiting for her arrival. Kensi is such a sweet, friendly, smiley, funny and on the go little 1 year old.  We are so lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful little person in our life.  She has taught us so many things, especially patience with each other. We are so excited to see what she brings to this life, because we know it will be something amazing and special.
