Happy Birthday Kylie! We celebrated Kylie's birthday the day after her actual birthday on October 5th. Family came from Idaho and all over the Salt Lake Valley to celebrate in between General Conferences. Dave smoked a pig and I made the cakes. Josh and some of his friends stayed overnight so our party became even bigger. Kylie is a big fan of teddy bears so I had made her a special teddy bear cake. I was unsure how she would respond but knew there was a chance she would hug it just like she does with her stuffed animals. When she reached for the cake everyone broke into such loud laughter that she was taken back and became bashful. She later became more intested but didn't seem to want to eat it. We later gave her a piece of the softer cake for her first real taste of sugar.
Kylie was spoiled with gifts and especially with teddy bears. We had asked everyone not to bring gifts but somehow 4 teddy bears showed up and a couple of bows with an outfit. The Benoits came and brought a stuffed animal bear that was as big as Kylie's parents. We thought she would dive into its arms but instead she kept her distance. Still to this day she is trying to warm up to the idea of a life size bear. We appreciate all the love and support you have shown us. This year has been such a wonderful year full of growing experiences. We love our little Kylie Jean and look forward to many more happy memories together.
