13 May

It's one of my favorite days of the year.

Four years ago, this little spitfire joined us:

Although we didn't do her "Just Us Party" tonight (it's scheduled for Tuesday- crazy week!) we DID do some fun things.  Like sprinkles on oatmeal:

This wasn't her first birthday on the road. 

On the way home we might have been suckered into this:

("ChuckECheesus!" -Halle)

 Maybe it's the party-less birthday guilt...

 It was pretty fun, though.

Isn't her haircut cute?  I'm LOVING it, and so is she.  :)

 Those curls just kill me. 

That and her giggly, goofy, snuggly little personality.

I love you, Caty-Cate. 
You are one of the very best parts in my life.
