Happy 8th Birthday, Katelynn!

EIGHT YEARS?  Really?  This (not-so) little girl is growing up so fast.  I just can't handle it.  What happened to my tiny little newborn baby girl that gave me the title of mommy?  It has been an amazing, challenging, exciting, and FAST eight years!!

 
This year Katelynn wanted a horse birthday party.  We really lucked out with some nice weather.  It literally started raining and storming minutes after her party ended!  We had about 15 kids total for her party, and they had a blast.  They got to ride the horses, brush them, give them snacks, tour the barn, and paint horseshoes. 


 
Katelynn requested a simple cake this year with just a horse on it.  So... she got simple but I still made sure to give myself some struggles as I made my own frosting and cake this year!  Normally I always use Wilton frosting, but I am trying to convert our family to avoid processed foods and dyes so I naturally colored the brown and pink frosting.  It turned out pretty good for my first time but the heat really melted the frosting a lot and it looked awful by the time it was time to eat it.  Good thing it still tasted good.. and I got a good picture beforehand.
 


The birthday girl got to pick which horse she wanted to ride.  She chose to ride Black Beauty.





 Make a wish, big girl!
 
I would say it was another successful party!  Now lets hope it takes a long time to get to age 9.  This is going all too fast!
