RSVP

The invitations were sent...
{Her theme this year was a cat birthday...so we made her invites with the Cricut!}

...the decorations were hung...

{Sorry, Whiskers...no real cats allowed at this party!}
...the goodie bags were ready...

{Whiskers was looking for a way to crash the party!}


...and the birthday girl was primping for the party...


You're Invited to Emily's 6th Birthday!

Thank you so much for coming to celebrate Emily's birthday!  I still can't believe she's six now...


What?!  I know... Alex and Grandma are in shock too!  When did she become such a young little lady? {Ha!  The only way I can get a picture of Alex is to catch him off guard!}

We are so fortunate to have our families celebrate these memorable birthdays with us every year...especially since they seem to be happening sooner and faster as each year passes...and maybe becoming fewer and farther between as they are getting older and as all the schedules keep getting busier and busier!  I realized today how much all the kids have changed and grown {although Alex's attitude seemed to have reverted back to when he was 2 at times ...ahem...}  

{Make a wish...again!  I wonder what she is really thinking about!}

{Time for presents!}

{Emily & Kendall}

{The 'group shot'...don't you just love trying to get these! Ha!  I always try and get the fun and challenging picture of all the kids because I have so much fun comparing them over the years...}

{Emily's 3rd birthday}

{4th birthday}

We had fun celebrating all week...and she's already trying to speed up time by telling me "I can't wait until I'm seven!"  ...sigh...

I hope we can all get together soon for the next birthday...Alex will be eight...{good grief}
