We spent the week getting everything ready for Saturday!!  Treat bags were made, supplies were bought!

Helping Make treat bags~
                                                   

I worked on Friday and was going to have to make cupcakes once I got home from work instead of sleeping!  Well..... when I got home at Midnight, Keagan and Megan had made and decorated ALL the cupcakes!!!  What a surprise and BLESSING!!





                                                   

The girls getting ready for party day!


 Saturday we woke up to a ONE year old in the house!!!  Our sweet baby Spider Monkey is 1!!!!  We opened her gifts from us in the morning!  Keagan and Ava helped her, but she is starting to get the idea!




                                

  She got a cute towel, some new pajamas and Daddy's favorite gift of all 100 new balls for the ball pit:)  She loved them!  She and Ava immediately threw them all over the living room!  Pretty sure Daddy's blood pressure rose a little at that mess :) HAHA!!!  











                                                                          

At 1 pm we headed to Parkview for the party set up!!  We had the tables decorated Ava picked My Little Pony! Kerrigan had butterflies!!  Backyard Bouncing set up the inflatable!  Then we were ready to PARTY!! Party goers started coming about 130  and the festivities began:)

Today we also celebrated Joseph's birthday!  He is just 4 days older than Ava!!  



We had pizza together and then went to Mass together!   Mass this week.... The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord!!!  How perfect because after Mass we had Kerrigan's baptism!!  What a special moment for us as parents!  Everyone that loves her was there to celebrate with us!  Her God parents are Keagan and Nana!  She wore the same baptismal gown that Ava wore....We had it hand made in Jiangxi China from Chinese silk!  So cute on her!  It was awesome both girls could wear it!  


Ready for the Baptism!


OH Ava!:)

Kerrigan is trying to kick Ava!:)
 


Ava's face is priceless!  Kerrigan didn't cry at all!




Kerrigan is throwing everyone kisses!

Kerrigan is trying to pull Ava's hair:)

Ava is enjoying herself!
Both girls want the candle Daddy is holding!

When Father Trevor was all done with the Baptism...Kerrigan gave him a high 5! It was so cute and totally her idea!  She reached over to him and held out her little hand!  It was sweet!  He said he had never received a High 5 like that before!  Apparently the next day at Mass he talked about it he was so touched by our Sweet Baby!


 




                                                       



















Ben was thrilled to give Kerrigan her Baptism gift and engraved cross box!








Then it was home....What a wonderful day!  We are blessed beyond words!  Thanks to everyone that helped make this day so special for BOTH girls!!  Love you all!

She says she isn't tired yet:)
She was asleep 2 minutes after this :)

Sweet tired baby!
