Our beautiful Kate turned 8 on July 23! Kate has grown into such an amazing girl with a big heart, huge personality and the ability to shine in any situation. We love her so much and thank God each and every day for blessing our lives with Kate-Kate.
Kate woke up at 6am on her birthday and quickly went right into opening presents.
Another Funko Pop....Kate's new obsession.
We gave Kate a loft bed for her birthday. With this loft bed, she is excited for many sleepovers and secret hideouts. My hope is to engineer a drape that can go around the top bunk so she and her friends can have a "clubhouse". I will have to brainstorm ideas with my very handy husband.
In the evening we celebrated Kate's birthday with homemade lasagna (Kate's request) and yummy cake. Gramma and Papa joined us for this special dinner.
We love Papa and Gramma!
And of course, Kate requested a silly picture.
The day before Kate's official birthday we hosted a party with her friends. She had 4 friends come over for a fun-filled pool party. We played pool games, did a scavenger hunt to the pinata and made ice cream sundaes. It was an awesome party!
Ping pong game (collect as many ping pong balls as possible)
Inner tube races
Ball squirting races
Kate and her best friend, Camilla
(Camilla's family is from Italy and so we bought the girls matching Italy shirts.)
Scavenger hunt...Will always makes the best clues!
Pinata time
Kate blew out her birthday candles in a pan of brownies, which we put at the bottom of the ice cream sundaes.
Yummy ice cream!
Happy friends
Goofy friends
Present time
Great party, wonderful birthday, tons of happy memories!
