Very First Birthday Party!

Kate had her very first birthday party today!

Her great-grandparents (Nana and Great Pop) hosted a

family picnic in honor of Kate's first birthday!

We had so much fun celebrating with

the NoVA Gleasons,

Grandma and Papa George,

and it was EXTRA special that

Gran and Pop Gleason could join us from Mississippi!

Here are some of the highlights...

First tastes of cake!
