Kate's 3rd Birthday

Yes, my sweet little Kate turned 3 today.  It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital.  She brightens up my day, and I could just laugh thinking about her.  Kate has been my "challenging" child this year.  Emma is at the stage where she listens and follows directions, Sage is content 99% of the time, and then there is Kate.   Kate still wakes up once a night and it's the same thing "Mommy Daddy, can I come in bed with you?"  I'll pick her up at 2am and then she'll say "You're the best Mom in the whole wide world."  How do you get mad at that?!?  She enjoys antagonizing her big sister, and she's mastered the throw yourself on the ground act in order to get what she wants.  She sings bible songs and talks about draft beer in the same sentence.  She makes friends every where she goes because this girl has never met a stranger.  We love our little girl and we know that her strong willed attitude will take her far in life. 
The birthday girl and her birthday balloons!
Today, Kate and a few of her friends went to "Sweet&Sassy" for her birthday party.  The girls put on princess dresses and then they had their hair, makeup and nails done.
The girls walked the runway, danced to the hokey pokey and had an official princess crowning ceremony.  Princesses:  Ali, Hadley, Kate, Emma B, and Emma.  Back row:  Bella and Hailey. 
Happy Birthday Cupcakes
Sage and Daddy even enjoyed the glitter filled day
Tonight we enjoyed dinner...and more cake!
Kate received so many wonderful gifts (and phone calls) from her friends and family - toys, clothes, games, dolls, slip and slide, sprinkler, and a dress up organizer.  Grandma and Grandpa Weatherwax gave Kate her very first bike!
