Kadie Turns Five!

Five years ago we got to meet this cute little person for the first time!

  How fast the time flies...
Kadie turned five this past Thursday.  We started out the day with a special treat of Daylight Donuts, and ended with Tacos for dinner per Kadie's request.  Grandma Ferris was out of town, so we waited until Saturday to have the actual party so Grandma could participate.  I debated having a party with friends, but life is kind of crazy right now so I decided to save that for another year.  All in all, I think Kadie had a great birthday.  Now to prepare for Taylor's birthday in a few short weeks!

Kadie started out being really gentle with the wrapping paper...

 ...but got more spirited about it after we told her to just open it!

 She got a lovely dress/hat and pajamas from Grandpa and Grandma Andersen and Grandma Jane:

 Taylor made a card to go along with the gift she picked out for Kadie:

 Taylor agonized over the toys in the toy aisle about what to pick for her sister and settled on a blue fairy wand that has glitter that you can shake on the inside:

 Taylor saved up all her money for a long time to get a Dream Lite.  Kadie lucked out and we got her one for her birthday:

 Kadie's five-year-old birthday loot:

Kadie modeling pj's that she got...She absolutely loved this gift since she and Taylor had similar ones when they were very small.  She was excited to have new ones that fit once again!

 Where was Kim during the birthday celebration?  Why sampling the cake, of course!
