Sometimes when you're the third kid, you can sometimes get a little.......overlooked. It's not from lack of love, or lack of good intentions, or really anything.......it's just that there are only so many hours in the day, and so many, many demands from so many people, that sometimes, the littlest person with the smallest voice can sometimes come last on that list. Thank goodness for Lizzy and Peter to keep me on track! We had a family party to celebrate Catherine's birthday, and when we were coming home from dinner the night before the party, Lizzy and Peter started brainstorming all these fun games we could play at the party. They thought we could paint a picture of Cinderella (Catherine's favorite princess) and play "Pin the Crown on the Princess," and we could decorate crowns, and also have a ring-toss game with crowns instead of rings. It became a downright royal affair! We decided to make a spontaneous trip to Target where we got all our supplies including fun plates and napkins for the cake. Lizzy even spotted a Cinderella pillow that doubled as a doll that she thought would make the perfect present for Catherine. We hid it under our cart and she never even knew:) On the day of the party, all of the details that the kids had thought of shone with such love and thoughtfulness for Catherine, it took my breath away. When the house was full with all the people who love Catherine the most, it was so special, and such a perfect way to celebrate our darling little girl.
