We decided to have a small gathering of just family, and since I'm dairy and soy-free (ugh), Chinese food isn't really an option. But the kitchen at Pao's Mandarin House burned, so they were closed anyways. Instead we got the private room at Jack Allen's Kitchen and they were very accommodating to my annoying diet.
Nelson's parents, sister, and her boyfriend came from Houston, my dad and Patty came from League City, and Lindsay and the boys came from Dallas. Audrey and Liz came to celebrate, too, and Allison and Bino were able to come last minute.
They were very excited to see Kennedy ;)
Me and my precious baby girl!
Lots of snuggling the guest of honor :)
It was also Nelson's dad's birthday! He had a cake made at a Chinese bakery and has decided that he'll just do the writing himself next time... ha!
Lindsay got Kennedy super cute sunglasses and an adorable outfit. She's obviously a really good model....
"Grandma loves me" - clearly!
As does Opa :)
And Jackson! He simply adores Kennedy and it's the best thing ever.
And we can't forget about Dean! He's just as obsessed with the "bebe" :)
Nelson's mom ordered Kennedy some traditional Chinese clothes and this headband with hair on it was amazing. Poor girl looks so confused, though, hahaha.
I had to spend most of Monday at the new house (more to come later) as people were installing / doing various things, so Kennedy hung out at my mom's with Lindsay and the boys. It was definitely a full house!
It was such a busy weekend, but full of all of our favorite people and so much love for our baby girl. We were so happy to have everyone in town to celebrate our Kennedy and feel so blessed that she has such a wonderful family in her life.
Like father like daughter, amiright?
