No, Katie's actually just 3. But ask her how old she is and she'll tell you 5. Ask again, then she'll say, "Okay, Alex is 5, I'm 3." She's a 5 wannabe if there is such a thing. I guess you always want to be older until about 30, then that changes a bit. (Tell me about it...)
Since we were "just" back from DisneyWorld in time for Katie's 3rd birthday, we celebrated in true princess style. Katie had also celebrated early all throughout Mickey's place while we were there, so this was really the culmination of a celebratory month. If you're around Katie, you know that celebrating her "Birthday Princess" status for a month makes sense. She even had the t-shirt proclaiming Birthday Princess status in rhinestones thanks to Grandma Bowen.
Family & friends joined us for a beautiful May day to celebrate Katie's special day. Lori spent a "few" (don't ask) hours constructing the castle cake, though it turned out glittery and fit for Cinderella in the end. Katie loved it, which made it worth it.
"The" Castle Cake. Look closely, becuase it probably will not be attempted again in Lori's lifetime.
Our family as Katie gets ready to blow out the candles.
Not birthday related, but our friend Olivia joined Katie & Alex at Six Flags for a day. They had a great time, as always. (Our tiny daredevil loves the rides, of course! No fear.)
A visit to the lesser mouse...Chuck E Cheese, with Uncle Pat, Aunt Rebecca, Woody and Muriel. Alex is somewhere in the middle.
