katelyn's birthday

katelyn turned a big whopping five years old in may!  she really is our big girl.  to celebrate she really wanted one last party before we moved to utah.  it was a busy time of year, but we couldn't pass up this one request since she wouldn't see some of these friends again.

we ended up doing a joint party with her friends eliza and danielle.  it was perfect!  we all divided the responsibility and made everything as simple as possible.  we had a pajama party, so each girl wore their jammies and brought their pillows.  the kids made fruit loop necklaces, played pillow musical chairs, and ate some pancakes and juice.

instead of presents for all the birthday girls, we asked everyone to bring one wrapped book.  we then played a game where they switched books and unwrapped it and were able to take it home. it was a fun party.

katelyn was also able to bring cupcakes to share with her classmates on her birthday.

we are so proud of our little katelyn.  she is such a good girl with a great desire to do what is right.  we love having this sweet spirit in our home.
