Peyton is One!

Peyton Augusta Todd is officially a one year old now. I went to Olathe on Friday to do a little shopping and to run a few errands for Amanda for the party on Saturday. Since I was there, Amanda and Chad took the opportunity to go out on a date to celebrate the one year birthday of their sweet little girl. Peyton and I had a blast having dinner together and playing before bedtime - she goes to bed early, so she and Grammy had to rush to get everything in we wanted to do! On Saturday, Amanda baked and decorated Peyton a beautiful birthday cake in the shape of a "One" and an individual two-layer cake for Peyton to have all to herself - which she enjoyed immensely - with both hands at times. She is her mother's daughter and her Grammy's granddaughter - she loves sugar! Peyton and I had a fun time helping her Mommy and staying out of her way at the same time while she prepared all the food for the party.

Of course, Peyton did not want to take a nap - she's kind of a busy body and she didn't want to miss any of the action. Her Mommy really wanted her to take a nap so she would be happy for her party at 3 p.m., so Grammy took one for the team and rocked her to sleep and held her while she slept for about an hour and a half (what a sacrifice - ha ha). Best part of the whole weekend. Ron transported both Great-Grandmas and Great Aunt Mary to Olathe for the party. Chad's immediate family were all able to attend as well -

Peyton seemed to enjoy her party and the guests, including her boyfriend from "school", Evan and his parents. Good food and fellowship - a winning combination.
