We enjoyed ice cream cake, homemade "twix bars", chocolate-covered strawberries and shortbread cookies for dessert.  We had such a fun time and it was great to all be together - I think Kate felt very special!

  1. Kate looks gorgeous in the bling shot. It looks like everyone had a fantastic time and frankly I love those pyjamas!

  3. Twix not Trix!! Come on, Kirs!! And sorry Amanda...too funny!!

    What a fun party for our precious little Kate...so thankful for her life...and Jacob is, too!!

    PS- Fun side note- Jer and I started dating on the afternoon that Kate was born- I'm always impressed he remembers, but he has something pretty major to associate it with :) 9 years, crazy!!

  4. Kirs-thanks for that great post-It's great to see all the kiddos (and the rest of the fam)-to bad P & P were out of the country; I'm sure they were sorry they missed such a special celebration. I LOVE the excited pic of Kate-were those earrings that she was so excited about? The food looks awesome! You should have had a pic of the dessert table! Has it been warm enough for the rhubarb to start to leaf out yet? I just walked thru my patch tonite-no signs of life yet-we actually had a blanket of snow this AM!
    I look forward to your posts-helps make the time between visits shorter!!
