Happy 6th Birthday Katelyn!

Katelyn celebrated her 6th birthday on August 24th!  We started the day with setting her "birthday place" at the table (inclusive of cards, presents, and the birthday pin).  Then we headed over to a local kolache shop of Katelyn's choice and ate some yummy cinnamon rolls.  From there we continued the birthday tradition of visiting the hospital at which she was born just a few minutes away in Carrollton.  Later that afternoon, we had her birthday party.  She wanted to have a "dress up" tea party this year, so we invited a few of her friends to come dressed in their favorite dress up outfits to a local bakery and had a very special and sweet time!  We love you, Katelyn, and are so thankful for the gift the Lord has given us in having you as a daughter.  Enjoy the pictures below for more of a peek into Katelyn's special day...

 Rise and shine birthday girl!

 Room 242...at one time was the room we stayed in when Katelyn was born.  Today it is a storage room for medical equipment. :)

 Our trip to the hospital is never complete without a stop at the gift shop!
