We had all of the Parkin family over for Kailey's birthday party last Sunday night. 
Kailey liked opening her presents but quickly got distracted and wanted to play with them instead of opening the rest. 
She loved the Big purple ball from Ty, Debbie, Shawn, Kyle and Nick.
and the "Belle" (from Beauty and the Beast) doll from Chad, Tonya and Robby.
But her favorite was a special doll that Grandma and Grandpa Parkin gave her.
Grandma Parkin spent hours and hours making a beautiful dress for this "Kailey Doll". It is exactly like the one she helped me make for Kailey's blessing. It means so much and was so thoughtful. Growing up I had a porcelain doll that wore my actual blessing dress and I only got to play with it on special occasions. I am glad that she will have one that she can play with often.
She spent a long time playing with the baby's eyes. They close when you lay the baby down...and open when you sit the baby up. She was fascinated. She carries the baby around and gives it kisses.
Heidi Stott helped me make a cake (I will post some pictures later) and we let Kailey eat her piece with her hands. It made such a mess but I think she liked it.
Happy Birthday sweet heart!

How fun! Abby got the SAME purple ball for her one year birthday! Weird. That brings back memories! Happy Birthday, Kailey!
Happy Birthday Kailey! It looks like she loved her party. The doll is gorgeous. What a cute idea to have it in a similar dress to her blessing outfit.
I looks like you guys had a great party! I wish you would have put the cake on so I could copy your idea (and switch it to be boyish!). I am running a blank on a good creative idea and Landen's party is tomorrow!
She looks so adorable in her cute dress! Happy late birthday Kailey!!!
