The toy (and box) from Uncle Jim and Aunt Claudia were a hit

Katherine loves owls, so it was easy to decide on a little them for her party this year.  I sent out owl invtes, had a cute owl shirt made and ordered an owl cake!  She was so happy!  For the past few weeks anytime she would see her invite on the fridge she would say "my owl, my owl".  She can tell you that an owl says "whoooo...whoooo". 

The day was a huge success!  She was just too sweet!  She loved every present and would grin and giggle with each one!  Luke loved helping her open her gifts, but was a little bothered by all the attention she was getting.  Luckily, Bill and Paula brought him a gift, too.  She got a Princess Coupe car and an owl backpack from Paul and I.  She loved the car.  I forsee many fights over that car in the future.  Luke wanted to be in it as much as she did.  He is almost too big for it. 

We were also surprised by a baby doll bed that Pop made from cedar off the farm!  He even made a little hope chest for the baby's clothes and steph for the baby to get up in the bed.  Nene made the bedding for it which matches her room!  Too precious!  I know it is something Katherine will treasure and hopefully pass down to her daughter one day. 

Our kids are so blessed with such sweet family and friends that love them like they are their very own!
