We had the sweetest time celebrating Katherine's 3rd birthday. She loves tea parties and everything that has to do with birthdays ,especially singing and cupcakes, so she was so excited about her tea party birthday. We kept it small and had 3 of her dear friends and our sweet neighbors and babysitters over for the tea. It was so sweet watching them drink from their real teacups and especially having Jonathan there to refill their cups from the teapot. Here are some pictures:

So that was the extent of the party I had planned for Katherine. So about a day before I start telling Jonathan the plan, and he would have nothing less than a bouncy house for Katherine. I'm not saying the bouncy house trumped the entire tea party, cupcakes, craft and decorations I had planned, but it was definitely the hit of the party.

After the party and a long nap, we celebrated as a family and opened gifts. It was a wonderful day, and we are so thankful that God blessed us with Katherine 3 short years ago. She is one of our 2 greatest blessings and has brought us so much joy. Happy Birthday Katherine!
