Kate really wanted to have a "Tea Party" this year, but we decided to save it for the fifth birthday. Instead, we took her to "Build-A-Bear" which we aren't sure why it's called that because she chose to "Build-A-Kitty." She knew exactly what she wanted..didn't take her long to choose the clothing either. She named the "Hello Kitty" that she chose "Dora Beth." She loves taking care of her babies and when we got home, she realized that she had a baby "Hello Kitty." She was so enthused about that...now she had a mommy and baby. After we built her kitty, we had dinner at Gloria's where we sang Happy Birthday and had yummy cake. She had lots of sugar that day because when we she woke up that morning, I suprised her with whipped cream topped pancakes. She loves pancakes and that isn't something we have everyday around here so it was a treat for her. She was served on the "You are Special Today" plate. The day ended with us taking her to James Avery. For every birthday, we add a charm to her charm bracelet. I got that idea from one of my very special friends and love doing it. I try to choose a charm that goes with what she is most interested in that particular year. This year, I let her choose it and she chose a microphone. That definitely went with what she is in to right now. She loves, loves, loves to sing! The other night, we had a very fun night singing Karoake together that my parents had gotten us for Christmas. That charm bracelet will one day tell a story. I still have mine that was started while in high school. I love it. Thank you Nani and Poppy for our charm and thank you Kekie and Pops for our cake and adorable new outfit. Happy Fourth Birthday, Kate!
Mommy, Kate, and "Dora Beth."

Kate loves stamps and as you can see, her mouth is blue where she stamped it earlier that day. I tried and tried to get it off, but it wasn't happening.
At the age of 4, Kate loves her little brother, Foster! She loves listening to music especially, "Joshua fought the battle of Jericho." She loves singing, loves making cookies, loves eating birthday cake, loves her cousin Zachary, loves her friend Hudson (all we hear about is Hudson, Hudson, Hudson), loves bouncing on her bouncy ball, loves watching "Care Bears" movie, loves playing in her tent with Foster, loves playing outside, loves visiting Pops and Kekie's house, loves ice cream, loves going to her class at church, loves her school, loves her lovie, loves to eat baby food squash and sweet potatoes(at least she still gets veggies) and many other things which I will add as they come to me.
