Kaylee requested a cake with sprinkles. So here's how the monstrosity turned out.Kaylee's birthday landed on a Sunday, so it was nice for the whole family to be home all day. We also had Grandpa and Grandma K and Uncle B over as well. Jeff took Kaylee on their weekly run from Barkley down to Whatcom Falls park. Hudson and I dropped them off at Barkley, went to Haggens to get some supplies, then picked them up at Whatcom where we spent some time playing at the playground first. Then we drove to Jeff's work and filled up the balloons for Kaylee. We came home and had some yummy danishes for breakfast before heading off to church.
This was the first year that Kaylee seemed to understand and look forward to her birthday. It was so fun to share her excitement. This was also the first time that she actually opened her presents herself.
The big present from us was this dollhouse. I've noticed that whenever we're anywhere that has one, she is inseperable from it. I had been looking for something for quite some time and it wasn't until a couple days before her birthday that I finally found it. It had just come into the consignment store with loads and loads of furniture and accessories. 
I soon learned that I needed to weed out the more intricate accessories from the hardy solid plastic pieces. She is just fine and dandy playing with the 10 or so pieces of furniture and dolls. We've got about 10 bags of extra items that we can add over the next however many birthdays and Christmases. What a find!

Everyday leading up to her birthday I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner and she consistently said spaghetti. I wasn't sure she really meant spaghetti because she never seemed that thrilled whenever I made it before. This time however, she seemed to like it a lot. Maybe because she knew it was made just for her.
Then some birthday cake to top it all off.
