Happy Birthday to Our Girl!!



Yesterday was Cait's 6th birthday, so I wanted to share some pictures with you! It was a fun day!



We call Cait sleeping beauty because she is just such! She is a beauty and she LOVES her sleep!!! I had to finally wake her about 9:30 so that she could start her day! Mindy Mayhew was visiting us, so it made it really special to have her with us celebrating!



We decided to take the kids to the Magic Time Machine for dinner. Cait dressed up as a princess and B dressed as a pirate. But before we went it was present time for Cait.



She had already gotten several cards in the mail with money inside (yipee) and a beautiful necklace and bracelet from her Aunt Kristi, which she insisted on wearing the minute she opened.



We gave her her first Bible and Bible cover. She was so proud and now is ready to be promoted to the Sunday School class where the kids bring their Bibles and read out of them...not just the teachers. She's pretty pumped!



Here's the restaurant...you feel like you step back into the 70's!



My hunky hubby!



The carousel where we ate our dinner. The salad bar is in an old car too. It's a fun restaurant to look at. Every table is different!



She loves her dad! He gets lots of love from her.



When the waitress asked if the kids would like a magic potion to drink, Cait went hysterical! Not kidding. She had just watched Snow White for the first time a week or so ago and she was probably thinking of THAT potion and who knows, but she was boo-hooing on my shoulder! We were cracking up laughing (or trying not to rather). B ordered that smoking potion and loved it! Cait passed with a chocolate milk instead. Hey! Everyone was happy now!



Paul with his own potion :-)



The Little mermaid came by for a picture with Cait



The waitstaff sang a very unconventional birthday song and gave her cookies and ice cream.



Mermaid, Woody and Laura Croft. She was our waitress, but our kids had no idea who she was...heck, we barely knew.



I love this part!



Happy now, even with all the potion trauma and the fact that she didn't like her dinner. Bummer of a birthday dinner, right? All is well once the ice cream comes though.



Jack Sparrow and B




The funniest picture of all was taken by a professional that night. Do you see something wrong with it? I just about can't look at it because it freaks me out so!










When we got home we raised the garage door to let Cait see her big gift.



She likes it!



A bike with no training wheels!!!







Okay, she looks so big on it!!!!



Happy birthday sweetheart!

I have to agree with Danyel about the picture! yikes!
I loved the description you did of Cait at the end. Wish we were able to see you guys more often and know those things for ourselves.
Happy Belated Birthday, Cait!

That picture was seriously crazy. The first time through the post I hadn't read it and was just looking at the pictures and it made my head hurt.

I love the idea of rings in the cupcake. Cute!
