It's Just for the Girls

"It's just for the girls, T....no boys are coming to this party."

This is what Cate tried to explain to her brother before he was taken to the Y to play basketball with Tim. I don't think he cared.

Cate got a very special invitation to Carolyn's wedding shower and we thought that a shower for Carolyn was a good reason to skip nap time, get dressed up and party with the girls.

Cate kept asking when we were going to "her" party, so I had to explain that this occasion actually had nothing to do with her. What a concept.

When we arrived, Mimi was already there helping to set up.

Auntie Jenn was there too. When we first arrived, I thought that Tim was going to have to pick Cate up and take her home for a nap.

After her usual 30 minute warm up period, Cate came alive and had fun. She wanted to help with the cake.

And try on the wedding dress balloon.

Cate didn't demolish her cake quite like flower girl Lia did, but she did eat the candy meant for the Bingo boards.

We had a great time at Carolyn's shower and Cate took a four hour nap the following day to make up for the one she missed!
