We have decided that when she is older having a summer birthday might not be as fun as she won't be in school with friends to invite to her parties like all the other kids will be, but for now we love having a summer birthday. A BBQ in the park with good friends is a fantastic way to spend a day, and if there's a playground involved all the better. Guess it's a good thing that's exactly what we did to celebrate the big day.
Kassie woke up from her nap to find a plethora of birthday gifts!

Lining up for a pass at the slide.
Abbie giving the see-saw a work out.
She really was having a good day - not sure what this was about.
A hot dog & the park - she got a little dirty - ok a lot dirty.
Pinata Time!
Grabbing the loot.
Which treat to choose?
It was the year of the butterfly!
She moved into a big girl bed around her birthday - she was hesitant at first.
Grandma & Grandpa Radeke along with Aunt Lorraine & Uncle Michael got her new butterfly bedding (& a big girl pillow) for her birthday.

A birthday bed time story with one of her favorites "Spot".
It goes without saying that we are grateful for Kassie & all she has brought to our lives/family. She's truly a force to behold. We simply wouldn't be us without our Spunky Monkey.
PS - The Father of one of the families (they are just like family to us) that we invited to Kassie's birthday shares a birthday with Kassie - or rather she was born on his birthday - so we created a "Cake Wreck" (if you don't know what they are - google it) just for him!
