Collin and Riley made Kate a "Happy Birthday, Katelyn" banner Saturday morning ~ this is a closeup of "Kate" and Collin's chicken!
Happy Birthday to Katelyn!!!
Friday and Saturday morning the boys and Lorri (our daycare provider) made Kate's cake(s). They baked four different kinds of cake, frosted them, then covered them in fondant with fondant cookie-cutter letters and shapes, creating cake-blocks that spelling "K-A-T-E." They also had initials for Collin, Owen, Jennifer, and Kevin (C, O, J, and K) on opposing sides! Here's the finished product:
Uncle Jared and Aunt Janae were the first to arrive and enjoyed 1:1 time with Kate (and her balloons!) while Aaron took the big kids to the park, and Kevin, Renee and I prepared for the party!
Cheesers!
Then everyone started arriving! What fun!
Kate and Lola G. (8 months)
Me, Christina, and Jenn ~ Northside Moms (minus vacationing Katie)
The weather turned out amazing (especially considering it had snowed two days earlier), and we enjoyed the afternoon outdoors in the sun. The big kids (including dads and uncles!) played hoops on the patio, built sandcastles in the sandbox, and created chalk art on the retaining blocks!
Then it was cake time!
Then presents! What a lucky girl!
Kate and Larkin sat together and sifted through the paper and bags for the hidden treasures!
Aunt Janae and Katelyn
Our kids' birthdays fall on three of the four seasons: summer (Collin), winter (Owen) and spring (Kate). So, in honor of our spring baby, the party kids each got to decorate a pot, fill it with potting soil, and plant seeds to take home. It was a great project! Here are several of the finished pots:
*Kate's has her handprints ~ so perfect! (#6)

I love Owen's flowers in the picture above because the stems sometimes go up, sometimes go down!
