Happy Birthday Aunt Katie!!!

Kailyn planned a big surprise for Aunt Katie today. Her first surprise party. Complete with balloons, presents, cards,nachos, chocolate, a big diet pepsi, a game and whoopie pies! On the way to school she got all deep with me and said that there was only one Aunt Katie in the world and not everyone has an Aunt Katie or even an Aunt. She tends to talk about deep subject matter in the car sometimes.

She sent the babies and I on a mission to get the balloons and the nachos and quietly called Grammie without my knowledge to ask her to make the whoopie pies. I was going to buy a couple, put the candle in and call it cake, but Kailyn decided to take it upon herself and asked Grammie to MAKE them. Apparently Grammie was really up to the challenge because she made them. (I would NEVER make them lol) They were delicious.

I don't know if Aunt Katie was actually surprised, but she made a big deal out of it and the kids were absolutely THRILLED. They practiced for an hour hiding and jumping out to say surprise. When we actually did it Kyleigh took a nose dive and started to cry, but quickly recouperated once we started stuffing her with whoopie pies and chocolate. Kailyn made all of her gifts for Katie and wrapped them in a tin that Nanie gave her. She let Katie know that she wanted the tin back. Sounded just like Grammie.LOL She apparently did not trust Aunt Katie to return the tin so when Aunt Katie was leaving she promptly dumped all the presents out and took it back.LOL It was a lot of fun and the kids had a blast!! They love a party no matter how big or small.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT KATIE!!! Hope you had a quiet night alone! :)
