Kate's real birthday

Kate got an awesome gift from Uncle Bert and Aunt Leslie for her 4th birthday...a real mike. In the video clip below, she is singing some kind of made-up song while Zane stands by, almost twitching he wants to sing so badly. When she backed away from the mike, he saw his opening and stepped up to sing this song. We were all surprised when he started singing...then started laughing at his selection. Unfortunately, he wasn't standing quite close enough to the mike to be able to hear it really well, but I was glad I happened to be videoing. I didn't want the clip to be too long as it's sometimes a real pain to upload, so I stopped before he completed the song.



Here are some other pictures from Kate's family birthday party, starting with the princess bear cake that her mom made.


Figuring out how to cut the cake was tricky, so we did the best we could!



The kids' table...Zane can't be seen because of the high-backed chair.

I can't remember what this gift was, but they all look pretty interested.


They had lots of fun taking turns singing into the mike. Carolyn tells me that Kate has turned into some sort of disc jockey, making announcements, asking people to come over and sing, etc. She is really enjoying the mike. I don't know whether the amp came with it or if they already had it. Super gift for a child who likes to be onstage!

And, finally...we sing happy birthday to our little princess...well, one of them anyway.
