Katelyn Grace is 5!!!!

Hard to believe but our little baby girl has turned 5!  Where has the time gone?  I'm so excited to see her grow and learn but something about turning 5 makes me just a bit sad and nostalgic....it's the beginning of the school-age years, the start of a new chapter in her life and the first glimpse of the "growing up" years......just glad we have the rest of the year to hang out together before she heads off into that!  : )  She is our ball of energy, always wanting to know what everyone is doing and wanting in on the action no matter what!  She adores her big sisters and tries to do everything they do....which can sometimes be a little scary!  She loves to color and practice writing her name.  And she loves to pretend cooking and help mama in the kitchen with real cooking too.  Katelyn is full of spunk and keeps me on my toes in the discipline department but also has such a sweet loving spirit about her and always crawls up on my lap to give me hugs and kisses! 







We had a couple of birthday parties to celebrate.....one @ Chuck E. Cheese, always a fun time there!  She requested a "monkey" theme for that one.....complete with a monkey cake that mama had never made before....but gave it my best shot!  And her other party, she went with a completely different theme (imagine that!) and requested a pink ballerina theme, but with chili dogs, fries and cotton candy.  Doesn't every ballerina crave chili dogs???!!  All in all, we had a wonderful time celebrating with her.  Love spending time with our girls, and even more special when it's enjoying the days that they arrived into our sweet little family!  Happy birthday Katie Grace!  We wish you much joy in your life and thank God for you each and every day!  Love you baby girl!
