Kaylin's Big Weekend!

Another one of our babies is growing up way to fast!

Here's our little Kaylin at 5 months old. She had the roundest and cutest little cheeks in the world!

Here she is now at 9 years old. (Her Daddy drew a picture of her favorite star wars character, Yoda.)

For her 9th birthday, she wanted to have a slumber party. She invited 5 of her closest friends and they were all able to come. Her Daddy made these light sabers out of swimming noodles (we got the idea here) and the girls loved them! We played outside with the them while waiting for everyone to show up. As usual, hubs got way into it!

The girls basically ran around the house, chasing each other with the light sabers until it was dinner time. They were giggling non stop!

For dinner, we had them make their own pizza's on pita bread. They seemed to really enjoy this. We put out Trader Joe's pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and pineapple. We did offer olives and mushrooms,

but there were no takers.

She requested a light saber cupcake, cake. This was one of the easiest "cake's" that I have ever done! The idea came from here, but Kaylin wanted to use mini cupcakes for a handle.

Yoda mustaches!

My good friend Sheree, from the G6, does a very special popcorn "surprise" for kids when they sleepover at her house. I thought it would be fun for the girls, so I copied her and passed them out during the late night movie.

I think she was getting a little tired of me sneaking up and taking pictures. Ha! Too bad!

Breakfast for the tired girls was pancakes (with strawberry and regular syrup), bacon, scrambled eggs, and fresh strawberries. We couldn't believe how many pancakes these girls ate!

The birthday girl and her besties! She had a blast!

A very special Thank You to the G6 for taking the little sisters for a sleepover so that Kaylin could have this night for just her and her friends!

Next was her family and family friends party. Her grandma's, aunties, cousins, and the H5 all came to celebrate (the G6 were celebrating their grandma Kim's birthday and couldn't make it).

Spotlight on Kaylin while she opened her presents.

Pay and cousin Livi were ready to start playing with Kaylin's new toys! (Goo Goo B is giving Livi bunny ears)

Grandma made jello jigglers and we used our "K" cookie cutter to cut them.

Haley spent the night at Auntie Robin's and they made this delicious berry trifle. We also had cherry pie, vanilla ice cream, and whip cream. Yummy!

Thanks everyone for celebrating Kaylin with us!

The next day was Monday and her actual birthday. Daddy surprised Kaylin and took the day off, so we thought, "why not let the girls take the day off too?". The girls spent the morning coloring and painting with Daddy.

For the afternoon, Kaylin wanted to head to the Lego store and use her gift card that she got from Grandma. She of course got more Lego Star Wars figurines. Thanks Grandma!

Her younger sisters had money from Chinese New Year, so they all spent about an hour building their own Lego people. This was so much fun!

We had a coupon for a free small cup of Lego's, so we all grabbed Lego's from the bins and handed them to Daddy.

He spent almost an hour packing down and filling every little space in the container. The workers were definitely impressed with what he fit into it!

For her birthday, day, she wanted Lemon Meringue pie. This cracks me up, because normally she does not like lemon stuff, but it's what she wanted, and she ate it up!

Happy Birthday Kaylin! We love you!
