another birthday

Katie turned a whopping 9 yesterday.

After a long and hard sick weekend we barely got her dinner, dessert and presents ready in time.

It was Katie's off year for birthday parties so Carl and I took her bowling, which was her date of choice.

sweet socks!

She wanted sub sandwiches (thank goodness) and ice cream sundaes (so glad she didn't ask for a cake) for dessert. We are so behind that she didn't even blow out candles--nobody noticed.

Psst, mom and dad, just so you know, you got Katie a scrapbooking kit. She loved it, you can tell by the expression on her face, no just kidding, that's when she didn't know what it was. She really does like it now.
