Don't Be Tardy for the Party!

(Karen, that blog title was for you!)
As you know, we celebrated Kendall's birthday this year in true Stavenger fashion...traveling from state to state and partying everywhere!  Just so I get it off my desktop before our fun vacation, here's a pictorial recap of the fun!   I'll be taking a short blog hiatus over the next couple of weeks to share in family vacation time, so check back in February as we return with a vengeance!
Have dress, will party!

Opening new wagon from Gma and Gpa Stavenger!

Celebrating with the Stavengers in Moorhead.

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the birthday fun!

Off to California for her Gingerbread party!

We celebrated with a few close friends and family in Stockton on her actual birthday, Dec 23rd.

Karen added a beautiful cake to our table!

Thank you Grandma Donna, Grandpa Keith, Grandma Marcia, Grandpa Jeff and our wonderful friends for sharing Kendall's milestone birthday with us.  Your love and attention for our baby girl is the greatest gift to us!
