Jake's & Grant's Birthday!

Dear Kate,

Your best buddy had his big first birthday on Saturday!  It was a Goodnight Moon themed party so you got to wear pajamas!!  And of course, you matched your sister!  

Yep, those are pinkalicious jammies, with a tu-tu and all!  The big kids played outside most of the time, but you and Jakey played inside, which Mommy didn't mind too much b/c it was H-O-T outside!  

And Christopher played a bit with you, too!!!

We ate yummy food and watched Jake NOT smash his cake.  Silly boy, he doesn't know what he's missing does he?!  You don't either, but Mommy sure does, so I ate his share of the cake :) Miss Leigh and her Mommy and Mr. Lee's mommy always out do themselves between the cake and the snack mix and pretty much everything else!  Since Mommy was alone (Daddy was on a business trip in Chicago), we didn't stay super late and you were super tired!  You even fell asleep on the short drive home and stayed asleep as I put on your sleep sak!
On Sunday, guess what we did?  Went to another birthday party!!  We're socialites at it's best :)  It was Grant's 2nd birthday party, but no jammies this time!  But, we did have Grant's (and Jake's!) granddad there to help entertain you two!  He was nice enough to pull you around in the wagon over and over and over again!!Whether it was with Jake...

Or by yourself...

Or Ellie...

Or your sister!

I think you found a new love!  You did bounce a little in the bouncy house and George (Grant's cousin) was upset when we went inside (because again, it was super H-O-T!) and said "That girl got out of the bouncy house!" but he, too, found the air conditioner :)
After opening presents and getting a bite to eat, we headed back home (again, by myself!!) and drifted off to bed dreaming of cupcakes!
We love our birthday parties!!!  Love you, too!!!
