January 2008 brought a big day for our princess! Kate is now four years old! For her birthday, we went as a family to Build a Bear Workshop. Kate picked out a darling puppy and named her "Cutie Pie". Jacob later convinced her to name the puppy Bella. Kate has a puppy at home named Cutie, and he thought it was just too much alike. We drove to Modesto and spent the afternoon shopping for bear (puppy) accessories and had lunch together as a family. On Kate's actual birthday, she chose to eat at Texas Roadhouse for the peanuts. We sure do love our princess!
