4 years ago ....

This sweet little girl came into my life:

Four years later she is so full of fun and laughter! 

We love having Kate around.  

A few fun things about Kate:

Here are the pictures from the party Kate had with some of her friends:

 The door.  The sign says, "Welcome Princess'"

 Mini Cupcake tower

 And a mini cupcake

(in case you're thinking of making mini cupcakes, the batter of one cake box lasts a REALLY long time ...

 like say 9 dozen cupcakes later ... we were ready for the party.  WOW)

 The princesses are coloring pictures

Then we made magical necklaces with fruit loops and pink ribbon 

Then Kate opened her presents and she LOVED them all. 

THANKS everyone!! 

Then Kate blew out her candles. 

After eating cake the girls decided to play hide and go seek .... 

LOL.  I love when little kids play games. 

Kate's party was on Saturday, her birthday was on Monday.

Gramma Peggy came and took her to lunch.  She got to pick.

She picked Burger King.  :)

Then we had a little party (not really, just giving her presents).

She got this awesome kitchen that came full of food.

Kate also got a bike, helmet, a night gown (thanks again mom), 

and some puzzles.   

We love you Kate!!  Happy 4th (belated) birthday!!!
