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!
Kate looks gorgeous in the bling shot. It looks like everyone had a fantastic time and frankly I love those pyjamas!
ReplyDeleteI'm coming to your next family birthday party...it all looks wonderful.
I don't know what to think about the neighbor comment... lol
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll let it slide! I hope Kate had a wonderful day!
Twix not Trix!! Come on, Kirs!! And sorry Amanda...too funny!!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!!
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!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your posts-helps make the time between visits shorter!!
