My Kia Sedona minivan had plenty of capacity (I loved the space), but it died a horrible, complete death 2,000 miles after it was out of warrantee. Two months after it had been at the dealer for regular maintenence and an inspection. Have not had a response back from Kia.

First birthdays aren't about the kid--we all know that. It's a chance to gather the family and friends and celebrate with those who love the little one. There's no need to choose a particularly juvenile theme for first birthdays. That realization is what inspired the A is for Addalyn first birthday brunch.
