Danny and Katherine went to pick out donuts first thing in the morning.
V and I tidied the house and decorated for her party!
V did Kate's hair and took a few pictures while we waited for the friends to come!
7!
She has picked a chocolate chip cookie cake most years and loves a Valentine's theme party! She has picked other themes, but she is a heart loving girl!
She really wanted to play limbo, so we did that first!
Then we played heart stacking.
Danny got in on the competition too.
Make a wish!
She has a great friends!
Reid gave her a doc McStuffins card and a movie theater gift card. Look at her face when she noticed what kind of card it was. She wants to take him to the movie with her. They were in kindergarten and first grade together and play most days at recess. The game I hear about most often is "Escape the principal". They also do "workouts".
Jack gave her art supplies, which you can see she loves! She loves it when Pete and Jack come over to play.
Rowan gave her new drawing pads and he helped his mom make Katherine this adorable pillow below.
The cutest thing was that he sent a video asking Katherine what her favorite color was- purple- and used that for the fabric on the back. Super thoughtful!
Imaan and her brother came too and gave Katherine a really cool merry go round for a fingerling. Sometimes they bring their fingerlings to school, so it was very thoughtful of her to know how much she likes those. Imaan was also in class with Kate last year and this year and they are cute friends!
Serious shot was tricky.
Silly shot was much better!
Her party was very sweet and simple and she loved it. After she opened her presents they were ready to play! Instead of some of the games that we had planned, the kids just wanted to play with toys in the basement. They had so much fun and it was nice for Danny and I to talk to the adults for a bit too.
After her party she opened presents from the family.
I was so excited to give my math loving girl this book!
She also got some new pjs- she is growing so tall!
Victoria gave her this bathing suit with stars! She still loves space and stars and she is going to start swimming again- so this is very fitting.
Christian gave her new slippers.
Grant gave her a giant purple bath bomb!
We also gave her a new outfit that is so her!
And last but not least.... MATH GAMES! That was what she really asked for and she was pumped!
We played them both with a little lunch in between.
Then we looked at bikes. She was given money from her grandma and Grandpa for a bike, but she was also given $5 from her Nana (Danny's Nana) and $5 from her Great Aunt Mary and $1 in a card from her friend. You won't believe what happened. The bike she chose was used and only $11, so she got to buy the cool new pink and white bike, a new unicorn helmet and keep the rest of the money! She was very happy!
That night she picked to go on a daddy daughter date to use her Glory Days gift certificate that she got for being a star stallion. Grant had one too! So the three of them hung out that night and I took V, C, and friends to a dance. It was a super fun day for Kate and we enjoyed celebrating with her. She is such a happy, good, lovable kid!
