Today was a special day in our household. Six years ago today God gave us one of the best gifts every. He put His precious Katie in the hands of Chris and I and allowed up to be her mommy and daddy. I can say for the past six years it has been a journey of love, thankfulness, joy, laughter, frustration and many other emotions but I know that it is a privilege to be her mommy and daddy. I wouldn't change a think about our sweet Katie and the wonderful personality she has. On her special day she was beyond thrilled that it was her birthday. It was a fun day to see how excited she was over every detail from the decorations to the presents.
This year we didn't do a big birthday party with friends. Katie said she just wanted it to be family, so we honored her request and planned a day of fun with just the family.
It has become a tradition that the girls get to open one gift on the morning of their birthday. I normally let it be an outfit so they have a special birthday outfit to wear for the day. Bree wanted Katie to open the gift she got her so Katie actually got to open two that morning. She got the Justin Bieber t-shirt(you'll understand why in a minute) from us and then Bree got her some littlest pet shop stuff.
Katie had school today so we had to wait until after school to start the actually party. When she came home I had the kitchen decorated and her cake out. She just kept saying "mommy it is so beautiful" she loved her balloons, she loved that the cake had her name on it. She was cracking me up. She just kept going on and on about how much she loved everything.
The cake she wanted was Justin Bieber, but no where around here could make it so the next best thing was this.
Time to sing Happy Birthday and cut the cake.
After cake it was time for the rest of the presents. Bree was willing to assist Katie in her present opening.
MONEY!!!!!!!
New game for the DS
After presents and cake it was time to head out for the activity Katie wanted to do for her birthday. She has been asking forever to see the Justin Bieber movie. We told her for her birthday we would go. She wanted to see it in 3D because she said she wanted to reach out and touch him. :) I'm telling ya, she is 6 years old going on 13. Does she look excited or what???
Chris and I were trying to decided or more like drawing straws on who would have to sit through the movie with Katie and the other would take Bree to a different movie. We really didn't think Bree would want to go. When we got there she said she wanted to go see the Justin Fever (Bieber) movie. :) We went in thinking one of us could take her out and sneak in another movie if she was bored. Surprising she sat through the entire movie with her 3D glasses on and watch every minute of it. I think she was just excited to be a part of Katie's big day and loves to be like her.
