Woohoo....family dinner for my special day!

Believe it or not, I chose Jalapenos for my birthday dinner and I was lucky to have Nama, Uncle Rob, Anna and Ashley join us (sadly, Papa was on business and Aunt Jenny was sick).  We had SO much fun!  Jalapenos was even so nice to bring out 2 birthday desserts to celebrate my special day....guess they must know I am a VERY special customer!

Thanks for celebrating with me everyone!

 

Love,

But wait, there's more!!!

A trip to the mall is not complete on your birthday without a trip to the carousel!  We went last year on my birthday weekend and I was so excited that we did it again!  Mom and I sat in the spinning teacup and spun around and around and around.  Mom got a bit sick....again, but did it because it was my special day - thanks mom!

 

Love,
Kate
"I love being 5!"

Special Day continues!!!

 Mom and dad continued my super special birthday was a surprise trip to the American Girl store to get Taylor's hair done at the beauty salon!  It was so cool!  I got to pick out the hairstyle and then watch as the stylist did her hair.  I even got a birthday sticker and Taylor got a matching one!

It was such a special thing to do!

Love,

5 Year Old!!!

I am very happy to tell you I am not officially 5 years old!!!  I woke up in the middle of the night and leaned over and told mom "it is my birthday, I am 5!".  Mommy told me it was my birthday, then she told me happy birthday, gave me a kiss and told me to go to bed!  when it was finally morning I was so excited to be 5.  I told mom that I did not feel any taller and I thought that just maybe I was still 4.  She assured me I really was 5!

We spent my first morning being 5 having breakfast at the hotel, then spent a long time swimming and doing water slides!  It was the perfect morning!

Take a look at a birthday present from mom and dad....matching outfits for Taylor and me. I LOVE it!

Love,
Kate

Birthday Eve!!!

Mom and dad surprised me on my Birthday eve with the most exciting news...they were picking me up early from Nama's house and taking me to The Great Wolf Lodge to spend the night and have 2 fun-filled days of water park and FUN!  I was so excited I could hardly believe it!

We had such an amazing time!  We did a lot of swimming and tons of water slides (my favorite was the red one)!  We went out to dinner at a pizza shop, played at the arcade (we had no luck at winning any prizes), went to story time by the clock tower in jammies, met Oliver, talked on the hotel phone, opened a few presents (lots of books), had dessert at the ice cream shop (I had fruit punch since I don't care for ice cream), checked out games and played some in our room, explored the hotel, stayed up late and had SO MUCH FUN!

I loved my birthday eve!  Last day I am 4!!

Love,
Kate
