Kate's Birthday Party

We had a party for Kate at a tumble gym close by. It was great fun! I was a little ambitious planning a party with a 2 month old..not sure what I was thinking. I blame hormones. Seriously, I guess I thought it would be nice to go a little over the top for Kate this year because of the arrival of Alex. She had a great time, and it was worth it. But...not sure we will do it again next year.We basically had family and our friends with small kids. We didn't go totally crazy and invite her pre-k or neighborhood freinds.

My beautiful nephew Ben


LOVE it

Alex was along for the ride again. What a sweetie

Pizza (broccoli and mushroom of course)
Cousin Johnny
Kate wanted the same exact cake as last year: a monkey and a giraffe from Lyndell's
I was so busy I didn't even get a good shot of the cake. Actually, I didn't get a shot of anything; all pics are from Jill and Jake.

She wanted the monkey piece of course

Back home. Maybe she's had enough?
Reading Little Bear box set from Uncle Jake. She has since memorized it (I got her the book on CD from the library so she can "read" along). Plan to bring this on the plane to Costa Rica!
