Michaelle, Marissis and I were all pregnant with Marcus, Maya and Karmann at the same time at work!

We had a great time at Karmann's first birthday party! We had warm weather without rain, lots of good friends, and lots of beer too (not for Karmann of course!) We also decided to share the celebration to "break ground" for our house to be, so we had the party on the lot. We did have running water, and a port-o-potty for our guests. Hopefully this time next year, the accommodations will include indoor plumbing!!
The event was a lot of work, and we have to thank everyone for helping out! Especially Alberto and Bianca for the tent, tables, chairs, and hay bales; Jim for being grill master for most of the time; Brandi and Brianna for icing the cupcakes; and to Jennifer for helping me get to the party with Karmann et al! Karmann had a doctors visit that morning, which was not planned, so I was running really late with my responsibilities, so thank goodness Jen was able to come help me out and Karmann was only 45 minutes late to her party - sorry Karmann, I hope this is not a trend in your future big moments in life!!
She was so cute dressed up in her little ladybug dress and patent leather shoes and lace socks! She had a great time with all of her friends and was so blessed to have so many people to celebrate with here in Orlando! It truly was our extended "family" that attended!
We were all WORN OUT last night, and had a relaxing day today opening gifts and hanging out with Grandpa. A couple of the gifts Karmann already had, so we donated those to "Toys for Tots" for another little angel to enjoy for Christmas.
Enjoy the photos and again, thank you to everyone who came to the party! We had a great time!
