Kate turns 3!

We had a fun day celebrating Kate's birthday yesterday! Kate was up at 5:30am and Zoe and Emily were prepared to entertain her until Matt and I got up (which was very sweet of them), but they didn't have to wait long because I got up soon after they did. All of the kids had fun playing with the balloons that I had pumped up the night before and they were excited for Kate's day to begin. When everyone was awake, Kate opened her "new" birthday dress and then she opened her new puzzle.


After I took Zoe to her last basketball practice of the season, we all piled in the Yukon and headed to the children's museum. What fun! My favorite part was writing Kate's name with the huge Lite Brite pegs and then taking her picture by it...even though she didn't want to.


As we were leaving the museum, I told Kate we were going to go home so she could open her presents. She humbly replied that she had already opened her presents. It was so sweet!

We were happy to see Grandma & Grandpa's package in the mailbox when we got home. :-)

We ate chicken fajitas for lunch and then my parents arrived for Kate's party.

Who doesn't love money?






The girls spent the rest of the day playing with Kate's new toys, which included additions to their Barbies and their doll house. It was nice that they all played together and got along.

The no toys at the table rule is ignored for the birthday girl.


Kate is a stylin' 3 year old now!


You're a big girl now Kate. Potty training starts tomorrow!
