Katie's big day!

Guess who's turning 3! Today was Katie's birthday party, and she had all her friends and family over for her party.

If you can't guess from the attire, it was a Minnie Mouse theme :) She looked SO cute in her little outfit!

These were the cookies I made for the party (I promised I'd post them!). I forgot to put a picture of the cake Krista made...but it was amazing! Hopefully she'll put a picture on her blog, so check it out!

I got the opportunity to snag Krista's super fun camera and take a zillion (nearly 300...) pictures of the day...so this is what I looked like most of the time. Actually, Edgar took quite a few too-we took turns playing with their camera...

Cousins. I'm not sure what Eli thinks of that amazing dress...

Daddy & Eli :)

Okay...so I was peeking during prayer...but Katie was so cute folding her hands during prayer :) Of course...she was peeking too!

Krista had a little station where kids could decorate their own Minnie cookie (though it wasn't 'minnie' in size at all...) It was a super cute idea, and the kids had a lot of fun making them...

...and eating them!

Katie got some of her cake too. She was full of sugar :) But isn't that how it's suppose to be on your birthday?!

A rare picture of me & Eli :)

I know, I know...it was Katie's day...but I couldn't resist taking a bunch of shots of my baby :)

Katie got loads of gifts from all of her friends. We got her a little dress to play dress-up with-It was a Tinkerbell dress. Pretty cute. Next time I go over there, I fully expect her to show it off for me!

Katie's last gift was from her Grandma & Pop Pop (Krista's parents)

It was a little kitchen! And honestly...that is where she stayed for the rest of the day. She cooked everyone cupcakes, roast beef, eggs, and many other things for everyone. She was so cute! At one point she had the sink filled with 'dishes' and she looked around and said 'Ummm, somebody needs to do the dishes!' Funny girl :)

Abuela & Katie. Unfortunately Abuelo was sick :( Hopefully he feels better soon!

We tried and tried to get a picture with Katie, but she couldn't be pulled away from her kitchen :)

We had a really great time today (Thanks Krista for letting us play with your camera!) The only 'bad' part was when I let Eli fall and bang his head on the floor really hard. He was standing, and I was suppose to be keeping him up, but he turned, and slipped out of my hands, and hit the back of his head...everyone heard the 'thud'. That's really the first time he's hurt himself, and his cry was SO sad. I'll be honest, I had a few tears in my eyes too. I felt so bad for letting him fall...but he was really okay. He cried for a few minutes, and then was fine. I guess I'm just trying to make him tough? Ummm...I gotta find a better way...

Eli didn't take an afternoon nap, so he was super tired by the time he got home, so he went to bed early, and now we're just sittin' on the couch. Oddly enough, I want something sweet...
