This year Katie's birthday fell on a Saturday and we were able to have her party on her actual birthday! Yay!
We had a backyard party.
The pool, the slip 'n slide, "fishing" at the water table... it was a fun time.
It was a Nemo party, so Mommy had some fun sculpting and decorating. Chocolate cake with vanilla/ Twix filling. Per Katie's request. Mmmm, it was delicious.
When we sang Happy Birthday....
...Katie tried to sneak a piece. Mommy caught her just in time.
She loved her Nemo cake so much!
She was wiggling around, just bursting to dig into it.
Happy Birthday, Big Girl!
Finally! Time to taste it!
It was a hit with kids and grownups alike.
Oh, yeah!
I love this picture. ( Sorry these are not edited, by the way...just not up for the task and I wanted to post these before her NEXT birthday snuck up on us...) Almost the entire group of party goers in our tiny kitchen all at once.
Then it was time to open presents.
The second thing she opened was a Phineas and Ferb figures play set...
She did not want to put that thing down, I tell ya. What a stinker. I seem to remember present opening being full of drama last year, too. I hope this is not a trend???
After awhile she came around, though.
And at the end of the party she enjoyed her P & F musical card. Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!
