I had planed on doing a birthday party for her either on her birthday or the day after. Unfortunately the two weeks before her birthday she was ATROCIOUS!!! So she lost her birthday party. Last year she had 3 different birthday parties, so I think it's ok we skipped this year. We did celebrate her birthday as a family though.
She got to open presents from Grandma: (LOTS o pics here!)
Dancing 'cause she was so excited to open them!
Em with the coveted umbrella!
From mom and Dad she got a new dresser. I got this at a garage sale (it was just wood) and I sanded and painted it. I think she really likes it.
That night we took her out dinner and a movie. The whole drive down to Dubuque I talked up this COOL princess movie (Princess and a Frog) we were going to see. Then we get there and it's not out yet! I thought it came out for Thanksgiving, but it didn't come out for a couple more weeks. Luckily I was more bummed about it than Kaitlyn! We ended up watching Planet 51 and she enjoyed it!
The next night we had cake for her. We didn't have any candles so...
we improvised.
And a few days later she got ANOTHER package in the mail. This time from Grammy with MORE presents in it. I think she had a wonderful birthday. We sure love our Kaitlyn and are glad to have her with us!
