five.

I can't believe my little Kennedy celebrated her 5th birthday this week!

To celebrate, she decided she wanted to have a Hello Kitty party with her girl friends.

Since her birthday was the day after Thanksgiving, we celebrated a little early.

The Invites

Her adorable little girlfriends.

They were licking their paws, just as little kitty's do.

The table I set up for lunch.

She wanted pizza with fruit and carrots. Sweet! Easy option for Mom.

I thought the little Hello Kitty beanie babies were the perfect party favor.

The birthday cake.

Note to future Natalie: Never do a character cake again. Ever!

It will take you 5 times longer than you think it's going to.
And it will never look as good as it does on the box.

The night before the party, I had the cake all ready to frost.

Until Lucy decided she wanted a bite of it and took a huge chunk right out of the front of it.

I just about lost it. And maybe cried a little.

So Rex hurried and made another while I went to a YW fireside.

Bless his heart. He even frosted it for me because it was 11:30 pm 

and I was so tired I could even see straight!

She loved it so I guess it was worth it.

On her real birthday, we surprised both girls with a tramp I scored on black friday.

It was so fun to see their excited faces.
But even more fun watching Rex take 4 hours to put it together. 

That night her Grandpa & Grandma S* and
Aunt Jennifer's family arrived for Violet's Baby blessing.
So she got another little party!
