I am going to attempt to document our lives. Hopefully I can get it all down. May eleventh my baby turned 7. How!? She is beautiful and kind. We are so very lucky to have her. Luckier still to have her as our first born. She sets a high standard and good example for her siblings.
First thing in morning on their birthdays, the kids get to choose one gift to open then have to wait for the rest. Here is kaitlynn with her gift. Her little sister was super excited for the gift too.
Until she realized it wasn't for her.
So before Kaitlynn even put on her birthday princess crown she shared it with Olivia.
Finally getting a turn with her own gift.
Birthday breakfast.
She made breakfast for everyone. Pancakes and scrambled eggs are her favorite.
Another one of her favorites is Little Caesars bread sticks. She doesn't like the pizza but she can down a whole bag of crazy bread. So we picked up pizza and headed to penguin park for lunch.
Our gift to her was a camera. It turns out that you can buy a real camera way cheaper than you can buy a kid play camera.
This gift was from grandpa Hylton of course. She has spent many hours pouring over this book.
Did you know May 11th is national train day? Yeah, we didn't either. We stumbled upon this fun on our way home. Not far from us there is a little park that has a train you can ride around a field for fifty cents. We decided to go do this only to find out that it was national train day and the park was filled with bounce houses, face painting and live entertainment. Super fun. Kaitlynn felt like it was a giant party just for her!
So after a fun day of parks, pizzas and parties we headed home for cake and ice cream. Unfortunately I only have video of that event. I love watching her grow up. She is truly a blessing to our home and each year shows us that more and more.
