Happy Birthday, Kate!

Yesterday was Kate's birthday. We were supposed to be in Chattanooga, but the storm messed up our cars and left us lots to do at home. (I will post those pictures soon!) We still had a fun day! Her party was last weekend so she has been celebrated plenty, but I still wanted her actual birthday to be fun too! Ben had to take his final exam in the morning and we had our small group in the evening. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Birthday banana muffins. This girls loves muffins! Really all carbs...like her mom!

We ate at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, which I love! She had her first smoothie and was a huge fan! She managed to only get a little on her shirt!

"Must you document everything?"

Then we went to Toys R Us to buy a new water table since ours was torn about by hail! The kids had gift cards so it worked out great.

My cute little three and one year olds!

Kate, we love you so very much! You are the little girl I never knew I always wanted! I wanted all boys...or so I thought! But now I so insanely crazy over my little girl. I love her 2 tooth smile, I love when she laughs hysterically when Braden tickles her, I love how her hair is always a mess, I love how she pulls my chin over to make sure I'm looking at her when I hold her, I love dressing her all girly, I love how she is so dramatic, I love the 5 seconds a day she snuggles me, I love being Kate's mommy! What a wonderful year!

I could have told you how wonderful little girls are! My two have given me joy for ?? years. (I won't tell your age Becky;)) And I'm finding that little boys are just as wonderful in different ways. Life is good!!
