Six is Super-Awesome

I know I start every blog with, "It seems like only yesterday....".  But seriously y'all, when did this:

Turn into this:

Because I seriously don't remember this happening.  My baby turned 6 years old last month.  It boggles my mind.  She may or may not be the deciding factor on why we chose not to have a third (can you say high maintenance?), but I love this girl like you wouldn't believe.  She follows me around non-stop, always needs SOMETHING and has a propensity for whining, but she fills my heart with so much love, joy and laughter.  I am so very thankful that God let me be her Momma.

Katie's birthday weekend (let's be honest, it was more like the whole MONTH, but let's not go there...) was jam-packed with a family party, a friend party and the infamous sleepover that I blogged about last time.  There is nothing more "Katie" than a weekend full of presents, cakes and all attention on the birthday girl.

The weekend started with a fun family party at our house.  Of course my mom, AKA Nana, supplied 2 cakes for the weekend.  The family party cake was a decorated with balloons per the request of the birthday girl.

My mom was there as were Granddad and Debbie, Cindy, Monica, with sweet Reagan, Nanny Sue, Lisa and Lauren Thornhill and Billi and her girls.  It was a fun party and we were so happy to see everyone!  Here are some pics from the party:

It was a lot of fun.  Katie racked in the money and gift certificates!  She can't wait to go shopping at Kohll's - her favorite store.

The next day was her friend party which we held at Eagles Wings Gymnastics in Prosper.  It was a great turnout and the girls had so much fun on the inflatable slide as well as the trampoline and all of the other gymnastics equipment.  For this party, Katie chose a Hello Kitty cake. Thanks again Nana!

Luckily, for Kason, Katie invited her friend Addi.  Kason's girl(space)friend (I seriously get hives just typing it) is Addi's sister.  Her name is Emma.  And that whole story deserves its own blog, but here is a pic of Kason and Emma.  They chased each other around the whole party.  Not sure they even said 2 words to each other but I guess the chase is what the boys like anyway.  :)

Emma is a sweet girl.  And fast as heck - Kason couldn't catch her.  Which is probably good cause I'm sure he would have no idea what to do if he did.  At least I hope not.

It was a fun birthday weekend filled with all things Katie.  And we wouldn't have it any other way.  Happy Birthday Katie Blair.
