Kate is 17!

Kate's birthday was on Tuesday and Emmy was going to be in McCall for the whole week at MOSS science camp so we decided to party on conference Sunday.  I made her mini vanilla scones for breakfast - they were a hit with the girls- eaten in Emmy's room with the kittens.
Then we enjoyed conference petting Ditten, taking notes, and drawing on each other.😉
When conference was over the Wilfords came over for slidders for dinner and a bunch of fun presents.  The clothes hand picked by Rachel were a hit as was the Australia shirt from Lily (to replace the one she left on the airplane), the cow squishamellow from Emily,  and a blender, egg cooker and sweatshirt from mom and dad (she is already planning for the future).
I made the same cake she requests every year - the Reeces Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Factory cake. A bit of a process but worth it.

Thankfully the Wilfords helped us eat half of it and then we froze another fourth of it.  The cousins couldn't get enough of the kittens but Jonny and Val were unmoved even when Luke sent them this photo!

Kate is growing up so fast.  It is hard to believe that she will be a senior next year.  She is a wonderful big sister- sleeping with Lily most nights and laughing and supporting Emily each day.  We can't get enough of her "would you rather" questions at dinner and her humor keeps us guessing.  Love you girl.
