SIX!

Last Wednesday, February 17th, my baby girl turned 6! It's amazing how quickly she went from this sweet little thing...

To this beautiful girl!

We had a great big party this year! A puppy party!! We copied my sister in law who did the same thing last month for her daughters birthday. It went great!! We all know that I love to make cake!! So here are the cakes I made for her special day!

We held a puppy adoption. For the last month+ we have been to DI several times purchasing puppies!! I designed an adoption certificate, my mom made collars out of ribbon with a bell attached, and tied a little bow onto a tiny elastic to put on the puppy. Kaitlyn picked which friend got which dog, and then we split into 3 groups. We had an adoption station, where we filled out the adoption certificate and they got their collar. Next they got a check up, where my friend Tamara was the vet and gave the dogs their shots and weighed and measured them. Then they got to be groomed, done by my mom, where she bathed the dogs in a cute little tub, put bows on their ears or tail, and taught the girls puppy massage. lol Here are all the puppies, back in their kennels while their new owners ate cake.

It was a HUGE success! The girls loooooved it! I even received an email from one of the moms saying what a fun party it was and that her daughter insisted on the dog eating dinner with the family, setting it's own place at the table. Kaitlyn got a new webkinz from us for her party, she named him Shaggy! She loves him!

And here is the huge group of kids that came! I thought it was going to be nuts, but with my great helpers it was not so bad. I didn't think so many would be able to come, that is why we handed out so many invitations, hoping to have a decent turn out! It was great! Kaitlyn was totally spoiled and we had a blast!!

We waited until later that night (like 8:30pm) to sing happy birthday to her, because we were waiting for Josh to get home from a business trip that was extended a day, making him gone for a week!!

Happy Birthday Kiki! Love you so much!!
