Kara's 5th Birthday


I can't believe that Kara is 5 years old. It has been emotional enough having a baby and then to throw at me a 5 year old who will be starting kindergarten in the Fall...its all such an amazing feeling - I just truly can not believe it!

So, on July 3rd - Kara's birthday - she gets to wake up like Christmas morning and open all her presents from her family. This year I then treated her to a fun day at the nail salon - we got our toes and fingernails painted. We then headed off to the Red Robin at night where we enjoyed a night with both grandparents. As some of you know my mom's birthday is July 2nd and Kara missed sharing the day by 2 hours and 15 minutes. So I like to share in the fun with my mom.

Then on Sunday, July 6 we had the big birthday BBQ. It was a blast. All her friends and family played, ate and watched her open presents. It was such a great time. Birthdays are sure wonderful.

Kara is such an amazing little 5 year old. We are so proud of everything she is and what she continues to become each day. Parenthood is the most amazing gift. I am thankful everyday for my children and family. Ok, enough of the emotional stuff. Enjoy my first attempt at a slide show:-)

It was a really fun birthday party. I can't believe that she is five already. It seems like you just had her. I love you Kara!

The pictures are beautiful! Thanks so much for letting us be a part of the big day. I cannot even imagine Kara as a 5 year old. I still can picture her crawling around with her cute little diaper butt! Lots of love!
