celebrating our big girl!

Kristen's birthday is on Wednesday, but my parents happened to be coming through Louisville this weekend after helping my brother and sister-in-law with their new baby who was born on Monday.  So... we decided to keep her birthday low-key, and celebrate with just us. 

We started the day by going to the zoo:





 Then we came home for presents, a cookout, and cupcakes!


She got a lot of great presents, but her big gift from us was a bike.  I love this series of pictures. "Why am I getting a helmet?"

Practicing!
