Katie is 7!!!

Seven!  Seven?  Seriously?  How is this possible?  In the past we have always traveled from St. Louis to Indiana on Katie's birthday.  This year we gave her the option to not have to spend 6+ hours in the car on her birthday.  She chose to travel because she likes to have one birthday party in the morning with Grandma and Grandpa H and one at night with Grandma and Grandpa B. 

I think this is her 3rd year of making her special lunch request from Grandpa and Grandma H.  She loves Beef Stroganoff and the infamous (and named by Emmie) 'Dreamy Bread'.  (It really is dreamy).  Then she enjoys an Oreo Sundae Pie cake and opens gifts.  We then drive to Indiana and she chooses dinner along the way which was Wendy's this year.  Then, we have a cake and presents when we get to Indiana.  Katie will have her birthday party with friends in 2 weeks.  We like to save it for January when there isn't much going on.

Happy Birthday Katie!  We love you!

 

I just had to include this one.  Grandma H said "Happy Birthday Sweetheart!" to Katie and Will immediately repeated in the cutest little 2-year-old voice "Happy Bir-day Sweet Haaart!" and got this adorable sweet smile on this face.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa H and B for helping to make Katie's birthday so special!!!
