Happy Birthday Kate!

Our sweet, silly, tough little Kate turned THREE years old yesterday.

Kate is a wonderful three year old. She adores Annie. She wants to do everything Annie does, just the way Annie does it. And she equally adores Evie. Every morning, as soon as she sees Eve, she runs over to hug and kiss her. Then she says, "Mom, I love Evie." She is so sweet with her, though not always gentle.

At three years old, Kate talks and talks and talks. She leaves the "s" sound off anyword that starts with a compound "s" sound, making "sprinkles" into "prinkles" or  "squirt gun" into "quirt gun." It is rather adorable. She also calls graham crackers "damn crackers" and doesn't hear her mistake to correct it. It is rather funny.

Kate has always been our most dramatic child. She makes you work for everything and she is suspicious of everything. Everything. She is stubborn and persistent, and often these qualities pay off for her. She is also the most loving, silly, funny girl. She loves princesses and ballet and board games and crafts. Also, she has the most gorgeous blonde hair. :) Kate can be so generous. She shares so easily with both her sisters and is already so considerate of other people.

We love our Katie Bug!

 Her birthday party was last night. She wanted a Rapunzel party and to eat pizza. Easy enough!

She is smart, too. Who needs a spoon when you  have perfectly fine hands?!

I read on this blog about wish lanterns like in Tangled. I bought them, but then was so nervous we were going to burn one of our neighbor's houses down using them. Matt and my firefighter Dad assured me it would be fine. So we lit these awesome lanterns and watched them float away. It was amazing!!

My dad waiting for it to heat up enought to let go.

Floating away!

It was a really fun day for everyone. The perfect celebration for Kate.

Happy Birthday Kate!

We love you!
