Keri Beth's First Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to you,
Your gb and Papaw love you~
Happy Birthday dear Kerington,
Happy Birthday to YOU!








Our little grand daughter, Keri Beth just turned one year old. Only a grandparent would understand how we were so excited to drive for 2 hours just to watch her crawl for the first time and eat her very first birthday cake~








~~







~~







Those pretty little teeth are brand new - we are up to 5 so far!








~~

~~

It is almost impossible to take photos of squiggly little girls!


After about 5 attempts - this is the best one!
(it's all part of the fun!)


The Gardener is a very proud Papaw!








~~

~~

Keri Beth, her sweet Mommy and Maddy girl

Keri Beth is showing you her pretty bloomers!









~~

~~







~~







She was mesmerized by the candle!







~~







NOW the fun begins!







Her first EVER bite of cake!








Keri Beth shares a bite of cake with her Mommy

Thank you for visiting Keri Beth's first birthday with us and for allowing this "gb" to share photos of our adorable grandbaby. We are so very blessed to have three precious grandbabes in our family. Keri Beth, our sweet little Mason (who lives in Atlanta) and Miss Maddy girl. Our babes complete our life and bring us more happiness than we could have ever imagined~~




(Just to explain - for my new followers and readers - Miss Maddy girl is my great niece - but to the Gardener and I - she is just as one of our grandchildren. We love her so much! )

~~~~~~~~~

I recently won an Easter celebration drawing from Tracie on her beautiful Fishtail Cottage blog. Do you know Tracie? Her blog is a vision of loveliness and creative inspirations. If you have the chance - please visit her and say Hello. She is such a sweet person - you will love your visit to her blog.




This adorable bunny banner featured on Tracie's blog was created by her friend Elizabeth at The Porcelain Rose etsy shop.







Isn't it just precious? Keri Beth's little nursery is decorated in a sweet bunny theme - so I think this little banner is going straight to her!





If you have the chance - please visit the Porcelain Rose etsy shop - you will find so many lovely creations there! I purchased these beautiful gift tags - (for a future nesting project!) They are gorgeous!!


~~~~~~


Coming up next - (like I promised before!) is your photo tour of the beautiful island of Curacao. (I had meant to take you there before now - but of course we had to stop everything for the birthday girl!)



xoxo Vicki

Nothing like that very first sugar rush is there? I can just imagine her first Easter....does Aunt Vicki have lots of chocolate and hand knitted goodies all ready for her?

Happy Birthday to the sweetest little bub around!! and I just love those bloomers!!! What fun she must have had with that cake. It is exciting to watch a baby grow and become a little person and even though I have never met her, through blogging you almost become part of the 'family'!!

I will head over and visit that blog you mentioned.

Happy First Birthday. You have such a lovely family. :)

mairedodd said...

first birthdays are always so special (and can be a little dice-y depending on naps and tolerance for singing!)... you all look like you had a wonderful time... and she certainly did enjoy the cake and the wrapping (or unwrapping)... so very glad that you get to enjoy your little ones...

Eileen said...

What cute birthday photos! How adorable. :) You certainly won some lovely things there, too. Hope you have a lovely Easter.

What a FUN time! Keri is gorgeous!!

Donna said...

Oh my good ness! Isn't Miss Kerington absolutely adorable!!! She looks like she is having a ball at her BD party. I sure understand driving 32 hours to see it all!!

I understand trying to capture all the girls in a pic with you Vicki. I have NO great pics of all my grandchildren together...lol! One is always doing something not photo worthy. Maybe when they get older...

Happy Easter!

Wow - a year old already? Seems like just yesterday that you were (not) sharing with us her name. What a cutie-pie. Oh my goodness. I could just love on her all day long. I would have loved to have been there celebrating with y'all (and having cake, too!) Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos with me.

SuZeQ said...

Oops ... forgot to sign my name. You should probably be able to guess who it was from just by the "y'all" ... am I right?

suzanne said...

Dear Vicki

Thank you so much for visting my blog. I find the blogging world such a wonderful place to meet and greet. I have visited here before as I remember the lovely lady who made the most amazing birds nests. How inspired and incredibly creative~

You have adorable grandies...I am sure I will be a proud granny like you one day..I am sure it is like having your children all over again.

I will be visiting again..the fabric eggs came from a company in Denmark called 'Maileg' . Worth a visit.

A happy day to you Vicki.

Warm regards
Suzanne
