Kate's Birthday

Katelyn turned 5 on July 13th. Of course she wanted a swimming party at Nana and Papa's house. We had Nancy and Quentin there to join us with their kids. It's so nice that they have kids the same age and gender as mine. Instant built-in friends. It is just getting cuter as time passes. Here is Kate and Q getting ready to sing.
Blowing out the candles.
Getting every bit of that ice cream from the cone. It reminds me of my grandpa's rule about getting as many refills as you wanted as long as you kept your cone. I would use my finger like Kate is doing to get the ice cream out without compromising the cone.
She wanted cupcakes instead of a cake. I tried to make them somewhat interesting.
Opening presents. She got My Little Ponies. I loved those when I was little. It's funny to see my daughter playing with the same toys I did as a kid.
The cousins gave her dress-up stuff. I'll have to flash back to this picture on her real wedding day. She looks so sweet.
After cake and presents we did some forgotten fireworks in the backyard. The kids had a blast. Both of my Nathaniel's love fireworks.
I didn't know how Tanner would react, but he LOVED them. He was laughing so hard and pointing at them. It was so cute. He's sitting next to his buddy, Isaac.
(Blogger has been shuffling my pictures and I am too lazy to switch them. Here are all of the ladies helping/watching Kate open presents.)
More of the audience watching the fireworks. I love that the little boys are clapping for the show.

The cupcakes are so cute. And Kate makes quite the pretty bride.
