Kattie's Birthday

Kattie turned 17 on November 30th....Is that really possible? I remember her coming to my house the first time...that cutie patootie blond baby! Now she is a beautiful young woman and I can't believe how fast the years have gone by...soon she'll be off to college, getting married and having her own babies!

Here she is blowing her candles out! She had cheescake for her birthday cake - her favorite!

Kattie had a mixture of family, friends and kids at her party...Here is the "young peoples" table...nobody over 19 allowed!

Here's of shot of Kattie and Kelsey (with Carl in the background)

Then of course Klay was in tow...and very happy about having his picture made!

Haila has discovered that she loves to dip EVERYTHING...here she is with french fries in ranch dip!! I remember Kattie making those cheesy faces!

Not be outdone...here's Peyton's party face....he's all about Kattie's Uncle Steven tonight!!

And last but definately not least, here's Kattie and her boyfriend Carl....who are so sweet together you almost need to throw up! But seriously..... Kattie loves him, so that's good enough for me (I think)...Carl's away at ASU, so we only get to see him on special occasions like this, unless Kattie decides she wants to see him - don't think he won't drive home and then turn right around and go back the next day to see her!!!

Happy Birthday baby girl....I love you very much and I am so proud of you! Seeing you grow into a beautiful Christian young woman makes me happier than you'll ever know!!!
