Kate's 3rd Birthday Party

I am so behind on posts. Our trip to east Tennessee was two parts broken up by a trip back down to Columbus. It was Kate aka "Cake" or "John's girlfriend's" birthday party. Yes, pretty nice of a mom to take a three-year-old to his girlfriend's birthday party 7 hours from home. Ok, it made a pretty good excuse to see Kate's mom, Sara, who happens to be one of Mommy's best friends. We also got lots more visiting in, Ms. Betty, Kim, Missy, Katie, and Teresa.

Sara reading John and Kate a bedtime story. Kate and John ready for the party.

Luke, aka the grumpy old troll from Dora. Kate's party was Dora themed.

Kate's birthday present from her parents. Only problem is Kirk let John bring it to her and so she thought he got it for her.

Sara explaining "Map" who is in "Backpack" and the treasure hunt they must go on.

Sara is so creative.

Knocking on the door, nobody home

The treasure hunt ended at the pinata.
