Katie Canary Birthday 2008

Last Saturday, little Katie Canary had her first birthday party. The festivities took place outside on Ken and Amy’s spacious driveway, where lots of tables, umbrellas, tents and fans had been set up.

If you did anything outside last Saturday in the state of Tennessee, you’ll remember it being quite warm. This didn’t seem to slow down the party, however. In fact, just as things were kicking off, a nice big cloud moved in to provide us some shade. This, combined with all the umbrellas and fans, made things rather comfortable!

There were lots of people there… most of which I didn’t know. But, the usual gang, minus the Metzger’s (who had their own little party to attend in Huntsville), were in attendance. Even ‘ole Brad Mitchell made the drive from Columbia. We all gathered at a couple of tables and enjoyed each other’s company with lots of party food and cake.

I remembered to bring my camera to the party and managed to snap a few pictures. All of these were shot with my new “nifty fifty” Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. Oh, and before someone comments that the girl in the first photo isn’t Katie, let me say that I included that picture simply because I thought it was kind of cute.
