Kate invited a few of her close friends from school to go snow tubing at Snow Creek Ski Resort for her birthday. I was worried about the weather because it started raining as we took off for Weston, Missouri. Luckily, there was no rain on that side of the river.

As you can tell, the snow is mostly man-made and we had the party just before closing for the season. Kansas City did not have the best "snow" weather this year. Too many stretches of warm days and no rain/snow in the forecast during the cold days. Either way, the girls had fun going down the dirty looking snow paths!
After the girls were tired of tubing, we had a birthday celebration in the cafeteria of the resort. Everyone picked out something to eat and then we had some tropical cupcakes I purchased from Walmart.
Kate is such a sweet girl. It has been fun to watch her do new things this year. She joined choir at her elementary school. She can often be found hiding in her room making bracelets or crocheting or reading a book. She is able to make macaroni and cheese on her own. She has helped babysit Jane while Bryan and I run errands. She tried out run club, but quickly learned running is not for her. Then she joined acrobatics and has learned all sorts of tricks- cartwheel, back bend, back bend kick over, round off, and some spider move. She made new friends. She learned how to navigate on the computer for her school work. She has excelled musically in piano and singing. I see a future of acting or singing or drama. She is a kind and thoughtful with her friends. She has created a few projects on her sewing machine. Kate always wants to do what is right and is quick to realize when she has made a mistake. We are so proud of her. She is so fun to be with and has such a cute personality. I just love her so much!
