On January 11th, our sweet Kate turned 9 years old! She is the best kid and we just love her to pieces!
The big surprise for Kate was getting her ears pierced! Since her birthday was on a Sunday this year, I told her on Saturday morning that we were going to the mall to get her ears pierced. She was so excited! We had a great time! There was only one worker at Claire's so she had to get them pierced one at a time, but she was really brave and picked out some cute earrings. We then went and got her a new outfit!
She was excited to also get a couple of new Legos Friends sets, a new Kindle case and book light from us.
On her birthday, we had a birthday dinner. She chose steak & mashed potatoes. Delicious! I think every bite was gobbled up! Lindsey made her this really pretty cake!
My mom made her a beautiful quilt from a line of fabric called "Miss Kate." She snuggles under it every night and I have to wake her up nearly every morning. She's always just nestled under that cute blanket sleeping away!
Since she was turning an odd number, Kate got to have a friend birthday party too! She chose to go to Airborne Trampoline Arena. She invited several of her friends and they happily jumped and jumped for a couple of hours. Easy!!!

Jack was happy to work on his flips
Rare evidence that I was actually at the event :) Hailey refused to smile at Jon who was taking the picture, so I had to tickle her leg.

After they jumped for an hour and a half, we went into a party room for pizza, cake & icecream & opening gifts!
