As you may have noticed in the past I like to go all out for birthdays. So I decorated a little different than usual, but I think it turned out fun. We were going kind of Rapunzel themed. Since I don't do characters, I mostly went with flowers. I hand sewed fabric flowers and hung them, also hand sewn fabric garlands, which took some time, but I thought was a cute addition. The tissue paper balls, I already had, so why not use them.
I stole this idea, (Thanks Chelsie). Except she used 12 and I used about 24 of her growing up, It's hard to choose when they're all so cute.
This is kind of, one of the trends in birthday party deco, (if there is such a thing). So I had to do it as well.
I even made the party hats, because I didn't want cheesy character ones. That was easier than I thought.
Here's the birthday girl!
I had a hard time deciding what to give her, because she already has all of Reese's stuff. And Christmas was just barely, but we figured out a few things.
This is mostly what happened, Reese, Kennedy and Hadley, opening and playing with her toys, and her trying to see.
This is what I bought her, although everyone thought it was a bad idea. Yes, it is a little steep, but I think she'll like it as she gets a bit older.
I was so preoccupied, I didn't take any pictures of any of the party guests. But Tayler took this one of Reese and her bf Macklin. Reese has a total crush on him I think. Tayler's got some competition.
Here's the cake. I think this is my favorite one I've done so far.
I didn't want to make an actual Rapunzel, (since you saw how good the incredibles turned out), so that's supposed to be her hair coming out the window. And that's little Pascal.
Here's the smash cake, Ashley (Jeremy's sister) gave me the pan for Christmas, and I was excited to use it.
We went next door, to Jeremy's grandpa's house, for desert and cake, since they can't come to us.
I had no doubt Rylee would go for her cake, she's such a grabber. And I was right.
She mostly ate it like this, and she had to come up for air. It was so funny! The cake was clear up her nose. I loved it.
This doesn't really show how messy she got. Luckily the frosting and cake were mostly white.
I know she mostly doesn't know what was going on, but she knew something special was going on. And I think she had fun. Altogether it was a great party!
Isn't he cute? He was born on Mon, at 8:00 p.m. 7lbs. 3 oz. and 20 inches long. His full name is Grey Deamer Kuchenmeister. Welcome to the family little dude.
Jeremy bought me the pasta attachment for christmas, which makes it so nice.
Home made pasta really is so much better. I'm still looking for the perfect filling for raviolis.
This is a different day, but I had to add this on there. Rylee makes such a mess when she eats. It's probably because she's really too little to be feeding herself. But I just love it when she can do it herself. I ran for the camera and missed the bowl right on top of her head, with macaroni falling down her face.
Bon Appetite!
I made the wrong guess though. I put a shadow on the cake, and this year 'ol Phil didn't see his shadow.
I think his grandpa liked it, and that's what's important.
For the record I thought I would just start putting out there that I am willing to sell my cakes. I'm thinking up prices, if anyone wants, you can always contact me on here or by email. Katiedeamer@gmail.com, and I could give you an estimate, considering, it really matters what size and what is involved.
Heather and Dave hosted a New Year's party, for the Deamer fam. Although almost everyone but us had a hard time staying up.
I can't even get Rylee to keep a bow on, but for some reason she was just fine with these, little weirdo :) .
We never get pics of the whole fam. And this one is not that great, but you take what you can get.
My goal for the year is to continue to do more things as a family, and continue working out and staying healthy.

Jeremy's cousins/aunt Kathy made this cute snowman kit. The kids loved it, in fact the snowman is miraculously still up. I guess when it's freezing outside the snowmen definitely can't melt.
I pulled Rylee out of bed and brought her outside, she wasn't loving being outside as much as the rest of the kids.
Look at that face, we are so mean!
Jeremy and Kris slid off the garage roof, and the kids wanted to. I knew Reese would freak out, because she doesn't like to be on the counter, it's too high. But she actually did it! By the way, this was safe Jeremy was right there.
We were lucky to get snow just in time, The Kuchenmeisters headed back for Cali the next day. This might be the only day we get to all play in the snow together as well, Reese loved it, Rylee not so much, but she will next year.
