So many presents for such a little girl! Kate showing us her new silverware for her kitchen.
Kate's Princess Tiara Crown cake.
Happy Birthday to you!
Our Celebrate Kate Day started out early in the morning as we took the BART into San Francisco. I think Kate will always have fun birthdays since she was born the day after labor day. This year her birthday was on labor day! Erik was able to celebrate her day all day long with us! Sammy looked like a puppy looking out the window and wagging his tail the entire ride. He kept checking to see how fast we were going and giving us updates every 10 minutes. Erik and I both decided that this was a birthday adventure for Sam more then Kate since he has been wanting to take the BART for a year and a half.

What other transportation would we take in the city but the trolley?
Sam ringing the trolley's bell.
Kate getting help from the conductor to ring the bell on her birthday!
Meg ringing the trolley bell.
Riding the trolley takes me back to the days when we used to live on the trolley line....Sacramento and Hyde. I used to hear the bell ring at 11pm when the trolley would go by. Thank goodness we didn't have children then, it would have woke them up! Such a fun time in our marriage and it is so fun to revisit with our children. Erik used to take the Trolley to work sometimes he could out walk the Trolley because it stopped so much.
Waiting with the tourists for a Trolley ride...hint to those who don't have 6 people to get on at once....just walk up a few more blocks and you can usually get right on!
Riding the BART!
Our little girl.....SOOO BIG!
