Our pirate and little princess!

Katherine has been talking about her birthday party for months now.  She had always said she wanted a Hello Kitty or a Minnie Mouse party.  When I took her to pick out invitations wouldn't you know it...she picked out princess invites! I asked her numerous times if that is what she wanted.  She had been so set on Hello Kitty.  She insisted on Princess which was fine by me.  Easy breezy for sure.

As it got closer and we found out the Boys would still be in town and able to come we decided to let the boys dress as pirates and the girls as princesses.  We just had family and a few close friends.  I kept the decor simple, reusing the lanterns and banner from her 1st birthday party.  Paul grilled burgers and we had corn on the cob, salad and mac and cheese.  Katherine requested homemade orange sherbet and picked out a Cinderella cake for dessert.

The weather remains absolutely beautiful.  The high today was 82 and the low tonight is supposed to be 59!  this is unheard of in Tennessee in July.  We took advantage of it and had everything outside.  The kids had a blast playing with each other.  The rode bikes, played basketball and played on the jungle gym.

Jim, Claudia and Lauren weren't able to make it but everyone enjoyed getting together and loved being outside.  We had a great time celebrating our baby girl's birthday!!!
