Happy Birthday, Kara!

It's hard to believe, but today my baby girl celebrated her 5th birthday!

Grandma and Pa came down the night before to spend the night, so that they could be here for Kara's special day.  And special it was!

We probably won't believe it in years to come, but on this particular year April 15th saw temperatures in the mid-80s!

We invited some of Kara's old preschool friends over for a birthday playdate ... outside!

The celebration continued inside, where our house and cake were decorated with the "Princess and the Frog" theme that Kara had chosen.

After a beautiful day outdoors, we headed to Pizza Hut for Kara's birthday dinner, then out for ice cream at Carl's.

When we got back home, the weather was STILL so nice that we were able to enjoy some more time outside before bedtime.

I hope that Kara had as much fun as I did, celebrating her special day. 

Happy 5th birthday to my baby girl!
