Last Wednesday, we celebrated Kaylyn's 9th birthday. I say this all of the time, but it truly feels like just yesterday I was pregnant with her. She has brought so much joy to my life in 9 years and I am so proud to be her mom! She is tiny, but full of spunk and if you've ever been around her even for a little bit, you know exactly what I mean.
The Saturday before her birthday she had a party at Trousdell with her family and closest friends. All of the girls had a blast and her boy cousins did too (they couldn't resist jumping in the foam pit)!
After presents, it was time for birthday breakfast. Kaylyn requested cinnamon rolls and wanted every single one for herself (she did share 1 with Ashton).

The morning of Kaylyn's birthday, she decided to open presents first thing (we always save the presents from us for her actual birthday, so that she has something to look forward to). She was very excited and even more excited that Ashton was awake too!
This next set of pictures are funny to me because in the first one, she is checking to make sure I got the navy ones that she wanted instead of the pink ones that I wanted her to have :) You can tell that she is so happy to have got what SHE wanted!

Since it was her birthday I decided to let her miss school for the day. We already had dentist appointments and she was supposed to have a horse riding lesson as well (it ended up not taking place...grrrr...). Since I had to change plans last minute, Kaylyn decided she wanted to see a movie which I completely agreed to...anything for the BIRTHDAY girl! I didn't know how Ashton was going to do, but I thought I could just tire her out and she would fall asleep. Let's just say that she made it through the first hour and fifteen minutes and then crashed.

For Kaylyn's birthday dinner (yes, we do a lot of celebrating) she chose Osaka. She loves the steak! Ashton has been when she was younger, but this time she was VERY interested in the cook. It was pretty funny...she wouldn't even turn to look at me, but Kaylyn did.

Kaykyn, I am so glad you had such a great day on your actual birth date and love being able to see all the pictures. It is so hard to believe you are already 9 years old. The time has passed way too fast.
