Happy birthday Katelyn!!

Katelyn's 5th birthday has turned into a whole weekend celebration! Friday, the day before her birthday, started out with her Grandpa taking her to Toys-r-Us for some shopping!

She got some really fun toys! Thanks Grandpa!! She had so much fun!

Friday afternoon was her birthday party. For the 3rd year in a row we had a horse themed birthday. We played pin the tail on the horsey first, which took awhile with 18 kids.


We made stick horses out of water noodles, boas, and googley eyes.


They played follow the leader and rode horses around, then they all let their horses snack on the leaves in our tree!

Saturday was Katelyn's actual birthday and we spent it at Raging Waters. She was performing with her dance class and then we stayed all day to play. She is the one on the far left on the stage. She did a great job!


She was so happy that Uncle Jamison and Aunt Heather, and Aunt Ali and cousin Justin came to see her dance then got to stay and play in the water! What a fun day. To top it off, she got to choose where to go for a birthday dinner, and of course we ended up at McDonald's.

Sunday we had a small family party to celebrate again with my parents and Jamison and Heather. With all the excitement of the past couple of days we waited to give her our presents until tonight. Tanner picked out a little barn and horses for her, and Mommy and Daddy gave her a few fun toys too.

A cute horsey rain jacket from Heather and Jamison!
This was her happiness over a movie that she wanted :)



I can't believe my baby girl is 5 years old!

Happy birthday Katelyn!!

Thanks again for having us over! Raiden loves his noodle horse, whom he has named "Horsey." He keeps telling me that he had fun with all those girls:)

You are a brave one to take on all those kids for a birthday party at your home. (I have yet to accomplish such a feat)
