Happy Birthday, Katharine!

The 2012 birthday calendar has officially kicked off. Katharine turned 9 years old today, and is celebrating it on a trip to the ballet with a few of her friends from dance class.

Here is Katharine's annual portrait, wearing a dirndl dress that she had picked up for Easter.

Katharine got a bunch of American Girl doll accessories and another dollhouse.




Later on that evening, the girls met up for pizza, strawberry cheesecake, and more birthday candles before heading out to the ballet.
