Happy Birthday Kelsey!

On Monday, February 29th Kelsey turned 4 years old! Because it was a leap year (obviously) it was her first real birthday. ;) We were excited to celebrate this sweet girl. She made things pretty easy for me, food-wise. She wanted cold cereal for breakfast, Mac n' cheese and hot dogs for lunch, and pizza for dinner. She got to watch some TV while I did school with the older kids, which made her feel pretty cool. :) We also painted, and she helped me make her birthday cake. Back in January we had gone bowling as a family, and Kelsey saw some other kids there having birthday parties. Ever since that day she had it in her head that she really wanted to have a birthday party at the bowling alley! So as soon as Kenny got off work we headed over there (I called ahead to make sure it was okay I bring a cake in) and we brought her presents too. We had a fun time bowling together, and then had cake and presents right there! 

Everything about that day was pink! Pink streamers, pink balloons, she wanted a pink cake with pink frosting, etc. etc. In the picture below you can see she's wearing a bracelet. We were in the check-out line at the grocery store when she saw this bracelet and really wanted it because it was pink! She had no idea it was a breast cancer bracelet, but since it was only $1 I let her get it on her b-day. :) She sure got spoiled and looked so cute in her new outfit from Grandma A. 

Kelsey is such a sweetheart. She can be pretty bi-polar sometimes, but when she's being nice she is the sweetest girl around. She love all things princess and is a really good sister and friend. She loves to make silly faces and make people happy. She loves to look pretty with her hair, or do nail polish, jewelry, make up, etc. anything sparkly or fancy is a favorite. She has such a caring heart, and we're so glad she's part of our family. We love you Kelsey boo!





Madi was quite a little booty-shaker that night! :) She kept doing a dance every time she bowled.





Yay for birthday cake!!
