These pictures aren't in order. And people, get ready for picture overload as I do an ode to our sweet Kate
Grandma Packer was here for Kate's birthday and here is a special present from her.
Birthday cake #2 after a day of fun at Jumping Jacks
We had so much fun at Jumping Jacks. We had Aunt Melissa and Cousin Teagan here to go with, they had so much fun (and everyone took great naps after!)
I was so impressed Kate could climb up this, it was really hard, even the big kids had a hard time with it!
This was Kate's main birthday present and her and Teagan had so much fun with it all morning.
Birthday cake #1
We are so grateful for our special Katie Girl. Here are a few things about Kate now and in the last year-the biggest one I can think of is what a big help she seriously is, I don't think I would have made it through the last year without her help. She is SO sweet to her brothers and is such a help. She always keeps them out of trouble.
-Kate loves to cook bread, cookies, or anything in the kitchen with me
-Kate loves her puppy so much. When I put the boys down for a nap, she puts "Puppy" down. She feeds him, changes his diaper, and just loves him. There still is the confusion of where the face is though...
-She always encourages me to exercise, I love it.
-She is a good little eater and isn't too picky
-She loves going outside with daddy--rain, snow, or sun. She loves helping him shovel the snow, pick up apples, and just hang out with him. They have such a sweet relationship.
-She loves birthdays and the past year, we have practiced the birthday song MANY times. Every time, after we sing, Kate will pretend to blow out the candles.
-Kate loves to read books and sing songs.
-Kate loves going to nursery and looks so forward to it, she has never cried when we left (I think the boys may be a different story!)
-Kate always tells us she has to go to work tomorrow. Jeff asks her what she is going to do and she says she is going to eat her "munch" there--she sees Jeff pack his lunch every day so I guess she figures that's about all she does.
-Kate loves to draw, color, paint, or do any craft.
-Kate learned how to go potty this year.
-Kate always is dancing (and I'll tell you she got some wicked moves from me)
-Kate LOVES playing with her cousins and with friends.
-We love having Kate as a part of our family so much, she is always giving hugs, wanting to cuddle and we love her so much.

What a doll! I love that little girl so much! The going to work comment had me laughing out loud. Kids are the best! I love Kate's imagination. She shopped for food and then cooked me a full course meal while I visited, all on her kitchen set. She had lots of explanations of what she was doing and what I was eating, so funny and sweet! Happy Birthday sweet girl!
She is so cute!! Happy Birthday Kate!!
What a sweet post! I am so excited to have our little girl and watch her grow up!!
Aww...cute! She's such a sweet girl. You really DID need such a helpful 1st child to help with twins! She's a sweetie. I love the pictures. I love those bouncy house places. And I can't believe she's three! Wow! And I love that she and Jeff have a special relationship. Oh, and you need to tell me where you got that water table. My boys would go crazy over that! Great idea!
How fun! She is such a cute girl. I've been thinking about what to get Miley for her birthday and I saw those water tables. Maybe I'll get it now that Kate looks like she's loving it.
Happy Birthday, Kate! I am also impressed that she could climb up that ladder thing in the bounce house, those are tricky! I'm glad she had such a fun day! We sure miss you guys.
Happy Birthday, Kate! How the heck did she get so big?! She seriously is a doll! Looks like she had a great day. You're such a fun mom. Now that I have TWO, I'm wondering how the heck I'll ever go anywhere. How do you go anywhere with THREE?!
What a sweet post about such a super sweet kid. She is such a cute little girl. You can tell she enjoyed every second of her birthday, she looks so happy! I wish we lived closer, she and Abbey would be the best of friends. It's so fun to hear more about her personality, she's getting to be such a big girl!
Loved all the pictures and the updates. What a fun family you have. I frankly don't know how you do it, get through each and every day with 3 children, 3 and under. What a champ!
