Kaitlyn's 9th Birthday Parties!!

Kaitlyn celebrated her 9th Birthday on Dec. 17th!! I cannot believe that my oldest is nine years old already it seems just like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital, a little black haired 6lbs. 4 oz. bundle of joy!! She is a very special little girl who is turning into a little lady faster than I want her too! She is also a very big help to me, watching her little sister and doing things around the house!! She loves School and softball and gives 100% of herself doing both!! She also loves to go shopping and she is a Daddy's girl!!:) Her Birthday is so close to Christmas and sometimes I feel like I don't spend very much planning it but we do try to make it special for her!!

To celebrate we had 3 different parties!! My pictures are once again backwards so I'll start with the family party.....we went to Mr. Gattis the evening of her Birthday...
