Kate's 3rd Birthday Party!

On Sunday, April 1st we all gathered together to celebrate Kate's 3rd birthday with friends and family. She had a wonderful, wonderful day filled with all the people she loved and she had a ball! She picked Elmo and the rest of the gang from Sesame Street to make her day fun. We celebrated with Elmo cake in rainbow colors, rainbow fruit kabobs, rainbow jello cups, rainbow cake pops, rainbow gumballs, rainbow candy necklaces, Sesame Street juice boxes, lolly pops, Elmo pops and ice cream. Kate got a little shy when we all sang Happy Birthday to her and it took a few tries to get her candles blown out. After all the food she couldn't wait to dig into her presents. She got lots of beautiful dolls and nice gifts and loves all of them! It was so fun to watch her on her special day. Thanks so very much to everyone who came and was a special part of her birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kate!!!

Kate had a great birthday today! She woke up this morning to me singing 'Happy Birthday' to her before we had to run Noah and Rachel to school. On our way back she asked me if we could get a do-nut - of course! :) So to Starbucks we went because we (Kate and I) love their old fashioned do-nuts. Great idea! We went home and snuggled up to watch her current favorite movie: Lion King 2 and she got to unwrap one of her birthday presents. After that we got ready to go see Mamaw and took her to lunch with us. Kate picked Chickfila and off we went. She got to spend some time with Mom while I ran to the doctor's office and after that it was time to pick up the kids from school and have a little nap with Daddy. We headed out for Shoney's for dinner and afterward we shared Kate's little birthday cake for desert. She was so excited to blow out her THREE candles. She did a great job too! It took her one blow per candle, but the look of glee on her face with each one was priceless! We played a round of R2D2 Operation and then read some books and snuggled. What a wonderful day! Happy Birthday Kate-Kate! We love you so, so very much! I cannot believe you are three years old!
