Kate's birthday, take 3

After her two rounds of birthday celebrations at home, Kate got to party in style with friends and family at Bella Organic Farm on Sauvie Island. All of the grandparents and cousins were in attendance, as well as most of the aunts and uncles and several of Kate's friends from preschool. Kate was not feeling well in the beginning -- we suspected car-sickness from the ride out to Sauvie Island as well as on the bouncy hayride -- but by the end was feeling well enough to eat some Cheetos and a cupcake she helped make, play with her friends and cousins, and open some gifts. An unexpected and fun surprise was a birthday serenade by a blues band that was playing a concert at the farm. (Click here if the slide show below doesn't appear or doesn't work.)
