The cake says "Happy 8th, Kate". For those Cakewrecks officionados you'll note the comma which lets you know she's not our 8th Kate ;).
This morning Kate went with Daddy to pick up the co-op produce, had daddy/daughter breakfast at IHOP (complete with a birthday sundae and singing for her!) then did a little shopping at Maceys. Among other things they picked up a birthday cake. I was going to make one, but since I'm off my foot they decided to give me a break (no pun intended).
We enjoyed a birthday party around lunchtime. Ate cake and ice cream and opened Kate's presents.
She got some fun little presents from her sisters, then a new dress and shoes for her baptism day and a nice CTR ring. She was very excited about it all.
I'm a little happy to see that even bakeries end up with sinking cakes. Apparently filling the divot with frosting is considered "professional". Thankfully it was reasonably tasty frosting :) We did end up with a near mom-wreck this morning. The girls wanted to show me the cake but I was sleeping in so they decided to just snuggle the cake right in with me in bed. Thankfully I didn't cream the cake in my sleep :P
We sure are happy to have Kate in our family. She's a very happy, helpful, conscientious daughter. We love our Kate so much!!!!!

Hey you got the shoes I suggested. :D Im so lame but seriously that makes me happy.
They're similar but actually a little different. From the same place, but it's a peep-toe pump, muted gold with a glittery silver stripe and bow near the front: http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?skuId=062588135&productId=60475&subCatId=cat310006&catId=cat10090&lotId=062588&category=&catdisplayName=Girls+
They also happened to be on sale for half off :) After the money we'd set aside for all this we had to blow hundreds more dollars on copays and such, so the half-off was a bonus :)
We're are thrilled for Kate. She is such a precious little girl. Infact all your daughters are such happy, spontaneous, imaginetive (sp?) cute, well-behaved little girls I wish we could see them more often.
btw, when is Kate's baptism? We would like to take her out to eat - just her all by herself - to celebrate her baptism. We usually go to IHOP. The kids seem to like the cute pancakes there.
{{{hugs}}} to you all,
Mither
