Post 100- Katie's Birthday and Easter Weekend

Kate's birthday cake, made on Good Friday in preparation for the festivities.

Gram reading one of the books she received for her birthday (Her favorite book, "Katie Can!" written by Gramma Ann for her birthday).

Modeling her gift from Mom and Dad- a monkey sweatshirt that she continues to wear frequently.

Opening her gift from Gramma Helen a Magna-Doodle for those car trips north.

Our parish hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for kids the morning of Kate's birthday. She and Gram ran fast to find a few. It was a big hit!

Finding an egg!

Kate and her friend Miriam after the hunt showing off their treats.

They also had a bounce house and crafts for all the kids to take part of that day. Here are the girls crafting it up.

Thought you'd enjoy the belly shot in this one. As an aside I'm measuring right on and continue to count down (7 weeks +/- to go). More on that in another post.

Kate in Pop's glasses- too cute of a picture to exclude.

Getting ready to blow out her candles.

Unwrapping presents, one small piece of wrapping paper at a time.

Kate's summarizing of the weekend-
Her favorite gift- boots from Aunty Trina (seen above)
Her favorite moment- sleeping with Gramma
Her favorite food- Big Bird Cake
Her favorite song- ALLELUIA!

It was great to have some of our families here for Easter. I wish I'd have thought to bring the camera to Mass Sunday morning to see Kate and all decked out for the celebration. My folks and John left Sunday around noon. By that time Kate had crashed on the living room floor of her own accord. Easter and company was exhausting!

Happy Easter from all of us here in Kieler!
