We started celebrating Ella Kate’s 9th birthday the day before, by taking her to the American Girl Doll store in Dallas. She squealed as we pulled in the parking lot. She had looked at these dolls a million times and her mind changed just the same. When we arrived she was for sure picking Julie. Well, that was until she saw the Truly Me dolls. Guess what she went home with…Truly Me! The next morning we woke her up to our traditional wake up with a cupcake and blow out one candle to get the day started. She jumped...
We celebrated Emily’s 14th birthday while in Alabama at Thousand Trails on Smith Lake. We woke her up with our traditional cupcake with a single candle. She opened her present (make up brush) from Ella Kate. We got dressed and headed out for a big day in Birmingham. First stop was Chick-fil-a for breakfast.

She went shopping for clothes, a mophie case and charger at the Summit in Birmingham. It was neat...

All she wanted for this birthday was to go camping. So we packed up and went camping at the Grayson Baptist Camp. It...
Ella Kate’s 7th birthday was quite a celebration! Ella Kate wanted to go shopping for her 7th birthday instead of having a big party.

She chose Olive Garden, IHOP and Chick-fil-a throughout the week. She wanted to shop at Claire’s for some earrings and get some shoes and outfits at Belk. She got some really cute things and had so much fun shopping for all of...
Ella Kate’s 6th birthday celebration! Birthday’s are special around our house. You may know that about us by now. We woke up very early brought in our usually cupcake with candle and then took Ella Kate to IHOP for breakfast. We spent the day planning and celebrating for a special little girl. The day is completely all about the birthday girl. Ella Kate wanted a Frozen dress up party this year. Of course she wanted to be Elsa which is her favorite. We invited a few friends and decorated the church into a frozen wonderland with the tent...
