Kate's Birthday

I cannot believe she is three years old. On her birthday every year, Ryan and I like to look back on her dramatic birth. I think everyone who knows us now knows the story of Kate being born on the bathroom floor. Her birth perfectly describes her personality but she's an amazing little girl. She's one of the kindest kids you will ever meet. She tells me she loves me several times a day and it's always followed by a tender touch on my arm. When asked for things, her usual response is, "Sure!" and she means it. Daddy and I love you so much Kate Girl!

The calm before the storm...literally

The mad dash for cupcakes before we all melted from the rain

The best birthday gift...roller skates! Thank you to the Himmelmanns

She was very intent on "reading" her cards this year. I think each one said, "Happy Birthday, Kate. We love you very much."

Doesn't every three year old want camisoles for their birthday?

I have no idea what this was but the look on her face is pretty good

She's so excited to have her own fishing pole
