happy birthday, kate.

My baby is five. Wow.

I am not one of those people who easily cries at movies or at songs. Looking at pictures today is making me want to cry. I cannot believe my baby is five. And I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. Every mother freaks out like this, right?

Well, there are a ton of festivities planned for this little milestone. Here is a quick listing of them:

Today: Presents and dinner at home with the family.

Thursday: Dinner at our favorite restaurant with our friend, Mr. David (who has a present for Katie that she will love!).

Sunday: Birthday Party at the house with Grandmom and Granddad (and her aunts and uncles, too). Cold Stone Creamery is in the works!

Thursday: We board a plane for Florida!

Sunday: We’re off to the Magic Kingdom!

Monday: A party at Grammy’s house!

Tuesday: Grandpa is taking us birthday shopping.

Saturday: Party with our neighbors to celebrate all our April birthdays!

Wow. That’s a lot of partying! I’m so excited! What fun…

Happy birthday, baby girl! ♥
