Aug. 2 - Post Party

Aunt Sherry babysat Ryan (her Godson) during Natalie's birthday party. Looks like they got along just fine!

Grandma, Natalie and Daddy pose for a cute birthday picture!

Grandpa Catey puts the new dining room table together for us. The girls love to help Grandpa! He was being so patient with them. Sweet!

These are some of Natalie's handwritten than you notes for her birthday. It was a process to get these done, but I kept reminding her that if she didn't write one for each person who gave her a gift we would have to send the gift back and she WAS NOT willing to do that, so on she worked. I am so proud of her. Once she was done, she admitted that is was worth all of the hard work b/c she had all of these great bday presents! I love sending thank you notes and I think people oh-s0-appreciate getting one in the mail, especially in this day and age. I want my children to appreciate all that they have and realize just how lucky they are and how thankful they should be for all they have. That's my job, isn't it? :) She is learning so much and taking it all in stride. We are so proud of her and all of her accomplishments at such a young age, 5.
