Kaity is 4 years old!

I can't believe that Kaity is 4 years old already! How does that happen? I mean, I taught at ERHS for 5 years and it felt like eternity. I've blinked and she's a 4 year old starting preschool this fall. Wow!

Her actual birthday was Friday, July 31st, so we took her to Chuck E. Cheese, which she LOVED! Then we found a park with a beautiful flower garden. She got to play on the toys there and enjoyed that a lot. She talked about getting an ice cream sundae all day for her birthday so we went to Red Robin for her free birthday dessert! The staff was amazing! They actually gave her a real card, they all signed the inside and even spelled her name right! When we got home there was a package on the doorstep for her. Uncle Michael had sent her a birthday gift and she was SO EXCITED when she saw what was in the box. She played with her Tinkerbell teapot house the rest of the night!

We held her formal party on Saturday, August 1st. We had an outdoor party with water toys and the weather couldn't have been better. She had so much fun with her friends and cousins that came. Now all I hear from her is that she can't wait for another birthday and when will she be 5!

(ack..oh no! I'm not ready yet! lol)

Here are a few pics from the party weekend. Look at that one of her blowing out the cake closely....and read the caption below it!

(YIKES...the first 2 remind me of some pics my Seniors gave me when I taught high school! Please don't grow up too fast Kaity!!)

(I'm not sure if you can tell, but the upper left turret is SINGED! The flames got carried away while we were singing and I had to blow out her candles quickly before the castle MELTED onto the cake! LOL...we relit them so she could make her wish and blow them out.)
