A birthday, a castle, a princess...
Kat turned 3 on the 4th of July. I'm clearly way behind on posting. We're officially out of the terrible 2's or so they say!!! and I'm having a hard time realizing that shortly I will no longer have a baby just two toddlers. Time sure goes by fast.
I planned an outrageously large and extravagant party for our Princess Goofball, but of course it rained and ruined all my plans. To Jesse's disbelief I started planning the party months ago with big dreams of creating a castle out of the swing set with little castles surrounding it, balloons everywhere, a red carpet to walk, and tiaras for everyone. Well...I came down off my cloud of dreams, promised to reuse some of the stuff and have a princess party for Lili at 3, and finally made a budget. The swing set would have decorations, tiaras for the little girls, and 2 castles made of furniture boxes that we got for free and the local furniture store. Despite the rain things turned out okay (no decorated swing set and castles inside) and Kathryn enjoyed herself.
I'll leave you with pictures of your royal highness Princess Kathryn's 3rd birthday.
Kat's Aunt Amy couldn't stay for the party but spent the morning decorating her cupcakes. They turned out great!
The red carpet. Things are just thrown together because of the rain.
One of the two castles I made. Mom help a little, so did Wes.
Grandma Gail with Lili and cousin Meredith.
Lorelai made a cute princess.
Heading for Chinese that night (we did fireworks on the 3rd this year).
Kathryn excited for Chinese and the fish!! She picked where we ate. Chinese is her favorite, but not Dads. He was sick that night!
Jesse and Aunt Bee's boyfriend Manu just being themselves.
