As luck would have it, our heating unit went out 2 days before we were to have Kate's birthday party. Of course, the weather decided to be extra cold so, there was no way we could have it at our house inside or out! So we spent the weekend like vagabonds shuffling from Scott's dad's in Crystal Springs to our super friends, the Powells. We did manage to take Kate out for a birthday dinner and came back to our frigid house for cake with Poppa D, Granna, Brian and Keith. Scott's dad gave Kate a red corvette pedal car and Janice gave her the sweetest pair of tap shoes. Kate is obsessed with tap shoes! Kate loved her cake. Everyday for a week, the first thing she would say when we would walk in from picking her up in the afternoon would be, "Cake!" She gets that from her momma!
In case you were wondering, within a week of having a whole new heating unit put in, the control board on the brand new unit was faulty and on a Friday night we were booted out of the house again because the house just wouldn't heat up. But we just took a quick trip over to the Powell Hotel where we have a standing reservation. Kate's party had been rescheduled for this weekend and again had to be cancelled. We are officially moving her birthday to May from now on when heat is not necessary. Good thing she was still too young to know it was her big day!
