K&K Birthday Party

Saturday evening we had our families over to celebrate Kimble and Karter's birthdays (Karter's birthday is Friday). It is always great to have them over, since we live "far" from everybody it doesn't happen too often. Plus, we now have grass in the backyard and everyone was able to enjoy it.



Because Kimble is so totally in love with horses, we had a horse theme party. She really wanted a horse cake, so this is what we ended up with. I made the cakes myself which ended up being more involved than I thought it would be. Kimble's was the one with the white horse. For some reason she is into white horses in particular right now.

Kimble ended up getting lots of horse gifts and Karter received lots of car gifts. They are so lucky to have so many people that love them. That was reaffirmed when we saw all the great presents everybody brought. The best reactions came when they each got a new bike. Karter got a small Radio Flyer bike he had been eyeing from my parents and Kimble got an awesome blue cruiser from Kevin's parents (we chipped in a little). They were both bummed that the bikes didn't move well on the carpet, so this is the best picture we snapped. I am sure that with a little practice outside they will be cruising in no time.

The party turned out to be really fun. So fun that Karter didn't even make it to his bed...
