Nina and Papa came over for pizza and brownies - the perfect birthday meal for our little five year old. She was so happy that the attention was all on HER. Imagine that?? She opened her presents from her Memere, Pepere, Aunt Kelly, Cousin Kadence, Uncle Matt, and Uncle Vik. She loved the clothes. My child loves new clothes. She immediately wanted to put on the new pajamas and new panties she got.
"Hello? Aunt Tracy? Is that you? YES - I just love the Lite Brite you gave me! I just opened it! And thank you for the polar bear and DVD, too! I named my bear Pete and I just love him!"
Seriously, my sister rocks. I have a tendency to buy gifts that are semi-educational or art projects. She gets SO MANY toys as gifts so I truly love it when she gets things that make her use her noggin. The Lite Brite was such a great idea. HUGE success! AND the polar bear DVD, she watched that night. I asked her what she thought about it. "It was good, mommy. It was mostly learning." Hahaha!
Kennedy was a little disappointed that we didn't whip out the cookie cake we ordered for her birthday party. I tried to explain to her that the cookie cake was for the party with all her friends... and that the cookie dough brownies were for the family birthday party. So many sweets over the next several days. Ugh...

Thanks so much to our friend Emily Welch, who came up with the idea, the kiln to fire the pottery, and the hook up on some wholesale products!
I was a little nervous about a group of five year olds painting and making a huge mess, but they actually did a great job. The hardest part was keeping them focused on painting and away from Roscoe. The poor pooch didn't realize that all the girls just wanted to pet him. It was as if he was the hired entertainment! 
Oh and Kennedy decided that her party was going to be for girls only.... except Brady and daddy, of course. She made a point to tell people who asked that the "only boys who are allowed are my daddy and little brother, Brady."

Kennedy had a great time with her friends. We were especially lucky to have her friend Abby come all the way from Texas! Thanks Abby (and mom, Jennifer) for driving 3 hours for a birthday party. What great friends!
