More Birthday Fun!!!

  Kabree has been begging for months to have a friend party and us parents were very much on the fence.  After lots and lots of begging and persuading Kabree finally convinced Zach and I she could have one this year.  Kabree had wanted an Outerlimits party but after attending a party of a friends at Randys and very little persuasion from Zach she decided Randys was the place!  Then came the hard task of picking 14 friends; lets be honest it wasn't hard at all for Kabree she is very lucky and truly considers her cousins some of her very best friends. 
 Kabree wanted to jump off so bad, she was SOOOOOO SCARED......but she did it!!!!

Happy Birthday Kabree!!!

  We can't believe our Kabree Lee is 6 years old!!!!  Where has the time gone!?!  Kabree has been very excited to celebrate this birthday because she is now a two hander (it takes two hands to show how old she is now ; )!  
  Kabree was very happy to see that while she was sleeping her Daddy decorated her door way with streamers!  Kabree started off her birthday with opening one present from Keagan; an Ever After High doll.  Then it was off to school where she took donut holes for her Birthday treat!  Thanks to Zach taking an early lunch I was able to go and volunteer at Kabree's school where I was "reminded" ;) by her friends that it was her birthday.
 Kabree loves having her door decorated with streamers

   After school Hanna and Justice got to come over and play for a few hours.  Kabree did have some special surprise visitors come before her party.  Grandpa Vance had physical therapy so Aunt Laurie and Uncle Jerry brought him over for a quick visit before heading back home.

Kabree's reaction to seeing her birthday cake!!!
Grandma Jane is amazing, seriously each cake tops the last
  
  We had Tastee Treat Corn Dogs as per Kabree's request, they are her favorite!!! 

 Lucky Keke got presents from Grandma Teri and Grandma Cindi too




  Kabree was so excited about getting this bird!  She had fun trying to train it and see what all it can do.


   Kabree got to facetime Keri and the kids.  Kabree thought it was the best thing ever and she took off through the whole house showing them absolutely everything from the decorations to every single present!!!  I know I sound like a broken record but seriously, we are so grateful for open adoptions!  Honestly they are all part of our family and make our girls and us feel so loved!  It made Kabree's night to facetime Keri and to have the others be there.

When ever we tell Teri things that Kabree loves or is good at Teri smiles and says "that's me"

   We had so much fun celebrating our beautiful Kabree.  She is such a sweet, smart, full of personality little girl!  We are so grateful to those who were able to join us for her party.  We feel so blessed to have Kab's in our lives and couldn't imagine life without her in it!

Happy Birthday Keagan!!!

  We got to celebrate Keagan turning 3!!!  We love our little Keke more than words could say and we loved spending her special day with her!
  Keagan was on cloud nine from the moment she woke up until her head hit the pillow that night!  She was super excited when she saw all of her pink presents!!

Kabree gave Keagan the new Barbie Princess Power movie and toy
  After opening her gift from Kabree and enjoying breakfast as a family we headed to Arbon to celebrate the girls birthdays with Grandpa Vance who is still recovering from his knee surgery.  Keagan and Grandpa spent almost the entire 2 hours drawing together.  Shawn and Shay also joined  us for chicken patties and gravy for lunch and then strawberry shortcake for dessert.  The girls love their Grandpa Vance and Keke was so happy to get to go to Arbon to see him on her birthday.

The birthday girls
  After our short trip to Arbon we headed back home for Keagans official Birthday party.  Keagan is obsessed with pink!!!!  She told us 3 months ago she wanted strawberry shortcake for her birthday and she never changed her mind for a second.
  
What would we ever do without Grandma Jane and her amazing decorating skills?!?
Keagan was so excited when she saw her cake!


We served Keagans favorite pb&j and carrots

Annika, Heather and Keke
  Words could never express how grateful we are for open adoptions.  Heather and Annika joined us and Keagan was very happy they did.  She talked non stop to them and had to show them everything for the party and her puppy.
  Keagan is it such a fun age for birthdays!  She was excited about everything and every single present.  She got spoiled rotten and had a ball showing all of her new things off!






   Keagan had to climb in the box to make sure there wasn't any parts missing

 One very happy birthday girl!
 Blowing out her candles

  Keagan did not want cake for her birthday, she wanted strawberry shortcake, she was very determined from the beginning that, that is what she wanted and it was a hit!!!
 Uncle Sean helped Keke pop balloons and she thought that was great


  We had so much fun having a day to celebrate our beautiful, spunky, busy little Keke!  We are so grateful to those that live in town that were able to make it.  We feel so blessed to have Keagan in our lives and couldn't imagine life without her!
