Happy 2nd Birthday JD!

Kenna has attended her first Pirate Party! JD turned two on April 3rd and we helped celebrate yesterday by enjoying a beautiful day at the park.

Miss K was very happy to be out in the sun (and wind...it is Texas after all!).

She even joined in with the pirate party hats! She won't keep a bow in her hair for longer than 5 seconds, but was more than willing to wear the hat....go figure!

JD, Aunt Mercy, and his cousins!


Kenna was very content to hang out with Grandpa - as long as he was sharing some of his food with her - which he was. She still has her hat on!



JD did a great job working on the parrot pinata, but Emma ended up being the only one who hit it hard enough to break.


I loved JD's grin when everyone was singing Happy Birthday to him. He was having so much fun! Jon did a great job on the pirate cake!
JD definitely thought it tasted good!
After presents and cake, we all went down to play on the playground. Kenna wasn't too sure about how the slide worked and kept trying to dig her heels in and stop herself. We didn't make any trips to a playground last summer because she couldn't even really sit up on her own. Guess we will have to change that! I think she will really like going down the slide once she does it a few more times....



She definitely thought it was more fun in Mommy's arms!
After the slide, Miss K and her daddy tried out the swings. At first, she kept trying to hold on and clap all at the same time. After a little bit, she just made herself comfortable and enjoyed the ride. She just kept going higher and higher!
(I'm not sure why this picture keeps turning sideways...sorry!)
I love how content she was....but she definitely threw a fit when we stopped the swing to go back to the party! We will have to go back soon!JD really enjoyed playing with Kenna's stroller when it was empty so he decided he would help push her back to the car.
He did a great job, but had to have a little help when we went back up the hill! (yes, she is wearing different clothes but I will explain that in another post)

Overall, it was a great party! Kenna didn't take an afternoon nap - she was too busy playing - so we weren't sure how long she would last. There were a few eye rubs here and there and some definite chill time in the swing, but she did really well! We ran back to Jon and Mandy's for a little bit before heading home and she and JD did some more playing there. I don't think we had been in the car going to our house for more than 5 minutes before she was completely crashed out! When we did get her home, she was awake long enough to change into pajamas and drink half of a bottle before she was ready to go back to sleep. Those Pirate Parties are hard work!
