Happy Birthday Katelyn!

We celebrated Kate's birthday at the end of January. She was super excited to have a party this year with her friends. We didn't have one for her last year as we were on vacation over her birthday so going two years with out a party made this year very exciting! I just love this age with birthday parties.. its all she's talked about for the three months. She invited eight of her friends to come to a gymnastics Gym in Buffalo call Gym-Nation. We went here three years ago and it was a lot of fun. They keep the kids busy with games and activities and then we do cake and presents in the dance gym. She loved jumping, swinging, tumbling, yelling, skipping and running with her friends. Its hard to believe she's 7 years old. Time just flies... She's a light in our life and this past year she has grown so much. She still keeps us busy with her activeness but she has surprised us about how smart she is and her love for learning. She also has this knack for remembering things too... if you tell her something three months later she'll remember it. For her birthday she remembered every day who had called to RSVP and who hadn't and would remind them when she saw them at school! Above are some pics Darin took at her birthday party (thats right I let him have the camera!)
