Kim Kardashian was bear-y excited for Chicago West’s birthday.
The SKIMS founder gave fans an inside look at her daughter’s Care Bears-themed 8th birthday celebration on her Instagram Stories Jan. 16, which came complete with Care Bears desserts, a giant Care Bears cake and even a surprise appearance from Cheer Bear.
The entire birthday also featured a rainbow theme, right down to the food, with Kim shouting out Los Angeles-based Chef Khristianne, who curated a rainbow menu for the party including pasta, popcorn, Rice Krispies Treats, pizza, fruit skewers and grilled cheese in addition to more classic birthday fare like burgers and French fries.
Kim—who also shares kids North West, 12, Saint West, 10, and Psalm West, 6, with ex Kanye West—had a loving birthday message for her third born.
“Happy birthday to my sweet baby girl Chicago!” the 45-year-old wrote on Instagram Jan. 15. “8 years old is just so big! Where did the time go?!”
“You bring so many laughs and cart wheels into our world,” she continued. “I love you soooo much my special Chi Chi!”
The Kardashians star also shared several snaps of Chicago from over the years posing with her mom, playing in the snow, hanging out with her cousins and siblings and even getting some glam done.
Sister North also had her own birthday message, writing on her Instagram Stories, “Happy birthday Chicago ilysm!”
And Chicago’s aunt Khloe Kardashian was certainly in her feelings at the Care Bears party, noting that Chicago was the first one to turn 8 among the “triplets,” which also includes Kylie Jenner’s daughter Stormi and Khloe’s own daughter True, who will both be turning 8 in the next few months.
“I’m here with the birthday girl,” Khloe said in her Jan. 15 Instagram Story. “The first one of the triplets to be 8. I can’t handle it.”
Family matriarch Kris Jenner also posted a heartfelt message to her granddaughter, writing on Instagram, “You bring such joy, warmth, and love into our lives, and it’s impossible not to smile when you’re around.”
“You remind me so much of your mommy when she was your age,” the grandmother of 13 continued. “You are kind, funny, thoughtful, caring, full of love, and the smartest little girl. I’m endlessly proud of the bright, creative, and amazing little lady you’re becoming. You are an incredible granddaughter, daughter, sister, cousin, and friend, and I love you endlessly, my sweet angel.”
