Happy 8th Birthday, Kara!

How time flies... we were talking about how we thought there was a chance that Kara might be a Christmas baby, since my due date was mid-December and we weren't sure if she'd be late... but knowing it would stress me out thinking about how we'd get back to Parlier for Christmas, Kara was born early and at eight years old, she is obsessed with time and never being late.

It was a back-to-school morning, but we managed to have some of Kara's favorites for her birthday breakfast.

Over the weekend, Kara celebrated her birthday with some of her friends...

We knew her actual birthday would be a busy day.  We were at school in the morning to celebrate both Kara and Ben's birthdays and then after school, Kara went to KCAPS for her weekly volunteer duties.  Then it was off to soccer practice and dinner out with the family.  Good thing Mrs. Boyd gives out a Homework Pass on your birthday!

We had to stop at Yogurtland on the way home because no birthday celebration can be complete without something sweet!

Our little birthday babies have been busy these past few days... it has been Lego central at our house.  Ben built the Millennium Falcon and the Star Wars Republic Gunship.  Kara built a shopping mall, cruise ship and beach house.  The Legos have definitely kept them busy and entertained.  I think the hardest part is trying to keep Jason's little hands away from all of the masterpieces!
