Kate's 4th Birthday

Kate's birthday was on a Saturday this year, so we had a full day of celebration! Matt made her favorites - chocolate chip pancakes and bacon - for breakfast, and we spent the morning at Catch Air. Both girls had a blast, and both were very tired little munchkins by the time we got home.




After lunch and a nap, we had Kate's birthday party.  Most of our families were able to be here, and that made it really special for Kate.  She requested a flower party this year, so we did lots of flower-themed things.  The best part was spending time together.












A little bit about Kate at this age, mostly for my own memory...

  • she loves reading books and coloring and doing crafts and projects
  • she likes to help me in the kitchen, especially if we're making something sweet and she gets a taste:)
  • she's getting super tall
  • she likes most girly things - dresses, jewelry, etc.
  • still loves Frozen and all things Elsa
  • she feels her emotions fully...happy or sad, she's all in (I "break her heart" on a weekly basis by not letting her do something she wants to do or have a treat she wants to eat)
  • she's still not super tough, and she's kind of klutzy - not a great combination - lots of bruises and lots of tears
  • knows most of her letters
  • can count to 20, but she always skips 12
  • she's pretty musical - likes to sing and dance and put on shows for us
  • loves to play with her friend Paige, who lives across the street
  • she eats a really good variety of food (and mostly healthy), but she's the slowest eater in the entire world.  we're talking 45 minutes to an hour for breakfast!
  • she seems really smart to me (I'm probably a little biased)
  • she likes to boss Liv around, but is getting better at collaborative play
  • she's very creative
  • she's our firstborn sweet, spicy, sort of crazy, funny girl and we love her so much!
