Katie turned 5 on Tuesday!!!! She has been counting down the days for months now. I don't know any other person that loves birthdays more than this girl. It doesn't matter whose it is. She just loves to celebrate. So in honor of her birthday, we baked chocolate cupcakes with star sprinkles made signs and gifts for her to open when she woke up. Tommy worked so hard wrapping his gifts and making a birthday sign. It was so sweet to see him put so much love and effort into making things special for Katie!!
The night before she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She made a sign for her door saying, "To Mommy. Please tickle me in the morning when you wake up." She didn't want to miss a minute. At school her friends made her some jewelry and a crown for her beloved baby and mama got them matching tutus for ballet class. All day that girl was zooming around and jumping on the bed in full ballet gear! After Tommy got out of school we drove over to an indoor water park for the evening. This was Katie's birthday request. We told her that she could decide what to do and it was a good choice. We all had a wonderful time splashing in the water in November. So Katie got her special day that was all about her and we got the joy of celebrating her life and all that she is and loves. I am so lucky to have this sweet little girl in my life. I just can't imagine what my life would be like without her, my little girl, my constant companion and my best pal.
She is so cute! Love to tutu.

I can't believe she is already 5! Tommy is so sweet to her and with her. I love watching your kids together. Hope the new little one is as close to them.
