Birthday Party

Last week Katherine turned 5. We spend the whole week celebrating. On Saturday we had her party. We started by taking her to go get her hair cut. She needed it badly.
After the hair cut she styled her hair for her birthday party.
Katherine loved all of the twists and the glitter in her hair. I was not a big fan of the glitter as it took a few days to wash out of her hair!
This year we had our first party where I "outsourced" and it was great. Previously all parties have been at our house and I have made the cake and the favors. This year we had the party at a local ballet studio. Katherine loves ballet and the party was perfect.
She invited all of her best girl friends from church and school. They had about 25 ballet costumes for the girls to wear.
They would put on an outfit and then do a few dances and then change clothes. The girls had so much fun in the dress up and with the dances. It could not have been more perfect for a 5th birthday party.

Here is a fashion show of some of the girls in some of their outfits.









Here are all of the girls. Such sweet friends.
After an hour of dancing we had cupcakes.

I would saw from the looks of the birthday girl, this was a success!

Presents and Cake

Nana and Pops came over for presents and cake.
One thing Katherine really wanted was a bath robe like Grammy wears. She loved the one I found.
She received a few princess barbie dolls.


And now that she has some real jewelry, she needs a real jewelry box, complete with dancing ballerina.
I love this photo where she is making her birthday wish.

5th Birthday

We started our celebration at Grammy and Grandad's house.


Grammy made a fun cake that left no doubt as to how old Katherine is now.

Somehow Caroline was the show off and I have more pictures of her.

Luau!

For Caroline's birthday party (2 months ago) we had a Luau at Nana's house. They have a new beautiful covered patio and nice yard but it was still soooo hot!

It was a really busy week with Sam being out of town and having out of town guests so for the first time I did not make the cake myself. I planned on it but just ran out of time. We had a Barbie Hula dancer cake.
I decided to do a Luau and then found out 2 other friends were doing luau parties this summer so I had a lot of decorations to use.

We all just hung out on the patio and the kids played in the sprinkler, pool and slip and slide.
