Happy 4th Birthday....

Kianna Marie!  We had so much fun this weekend celebrating her birthday.  We started early on Saturday by wearing her "Birthday Princess" shirt.  My little princess requested a turkey sandwich and pickles.  With that request, that leaves us with BBQ.  Our family always went to Marty's BBQ and really haven't found a good BBQ restaurant north of the river.  We decided to try Smokin' Guns in North Kansas City.  It was everything, and more, and our family will definitely be back.  Gracie, Aunt Nerned and Grammy gave Kia her birthday gifts.  She was super excited to open up a Mega Block/Lego Hello Kitty building set.  I'm not sure who is more excited, Daddy or Kia?

After dinner, we went to Lemon Tree and enjoyed more food!  By the end of the night, the adults were stuffed and couldn't eat anymore.

On her actual birthday, we woke up early to open birthday presents from our little family.  Natalie bought her a spelling set, Kyle bought her a Littlest Pet, Biscuit (how fitting) and Mommy and Daddy bought her a Sophia The First tablet.  Then we went to Church and Sunday School and indulged in donuts after church with lunch.  We then went to Chuck E. Cheese to play and earn tickets with Grammy, Gracie and Aunt Nerned.  We spent a few hours and came home with junk, oh, I mean prizes!

We had a fun weekend and one we will never forget.  Kianna has been excited for her birthday and has been really sweet in the days leading up to her special day.  When we went shopping, she told me that she would love anything we bought for her.  Then, as always I have a hard time seeing my babies get bigger and she has reassured me that she will always be my baby no matter how old she is.  How can you not LOVE this little girl?

So, Kianna......
