Caroline's Birthday Party

Caroline's birthday party was the Saturday after her actual birthday. We had a blast! Thanks to everyone who came...we loved seeing you all.

Brian and I surprised Caroline with her very own bounce house the morning of her party. She couldn't wait for her friends to come over and play in it.

Caroline is pretty proud to have her own hula hoop.

Here she is showing off one of her new shirts.

By the end of the evening, Caroline was pretty much falling asleep standing up, but she refused to go to sleep until we read her new "big" version of Guess How Much I Love You from Grandmama & Granddad.

I was so excited (and so was Caroline) that Emily found the Strawberry Shortcake dolls. We've been looking for them since before Christmas.

We've already put this Strawberry Shortcake puzzle together. In fact, I don't think there is a single gift that hasn't already been played with several times.

Check out this adorable dress from Caroline's two favorite friends, Hannah & Jake.

Caroline is "fishing" with the new puzzle from Great Papa.
Caroline's pop-up book collection is growing! Isn't Robert Sabuda the coolest?

Caroline wanted strawberry cake to go with her Strawberry Shortcake party.
Happy Birthday, sweetheart!
