As usual, it's a whirlwind. Ryan's birthday fell on a Saturday - we had the family BBQ that day. Great weather, great people. Much fun indeed.
The cousins on the Lewis side!
3 of the 4 generations.
My 7 year old : )
Kennedy side : )
This year was Kathryn's turn for the birthday party with her friends.
We held it in our backyard.
There were 4 boys and 2 girls - making a girly theme difficult so we threw out the theme idea and got creative.
First was a bug hunt. Hid little plastic bugs all over the back yard and it was a success with the kids. Everyone got a basket and a net to help catch those creepy crawlers.
Next was pin the horn on the unicorn. Total crack up and a throw back to party games when Mom was a kid - although we only had a silly old donkey to pin a tail on.
Lastly a pinata. . . My Little Pony pinata - Pinkie Pie I think was the name.
Kathryn's cake as a mild disaster, but Kathryn never knew it. The back started to collapse due to the frosting I used. But the front looked presentable. When Kathryn saw the tiara on top she had a very genuine, sweet reaction. "That's for me?" Melted my heart and made all the work put in to that cake completely worth it.
Kathryn, Kathryn Kathryn.
You are one tough nut.
Wise beyond your years in lots of ways.
You and I - we butt heads. A LOT.
You're passionate, emotional, exceptionally generous and very bright.
You are going to grow in to a wonderful, strong, capable woman.
In the meantime, you and I are going to constantly readjust how we respond, cope and deal with each other.
I love you down to my core.
Your beauty stuns me.
You're a gift in my life - thank you my sweet one.
Happy 5th Birthday Kathryn
Love, your Mama
