Birthday Highlights (continued...)

Who likes to party? We do!

Caitlin's Birthday came and went, but we continued to party and celebrate...
it's just our nature.

Birthday Surprise:
After an hour or so at the zoo, we headed home. Later that evening, we ran some errands together, one place we stopped was Petco... Justin ran in to get a battery for Pepper's shock collar... and Caitlin's Birthday surprise... A GOLD FISH! It was SO CUTE, you should have seen her face light up when Justin held up the fish bag... pure joy

Meet the newest member of our family: NEMO
(original, huh?)
The next day, Sunday, we celebrated with Justin's family.

Here's a picture of Caitlin is being a T-rex just like the balloon... and the decorated table, where we ate a fabulous birthday dinner in honor of our little C-Bug... however she did not eat, she was holding out for... yes, you guessed it...
... the Birthday Cake!
we don't only eat cake... we play with it too!
Birthday Dress from Nans and Pops!
Aww.
Sweetest Book from Nana and Papa Great! A bed time favorite.
Party with the little people:
The next Saturday, we decided we'd invite some of Caitlin's neighborhood buddies over for some cake and ice cream... We found a $2.00 spider pinyata at Wal-Mart... and thought it would be the perfect activity for 4 year olds... ha.
Caitlin woke up at 7 am on Saturday... saying "My party is TODAY!! Where are my friends?"
she was REALLY excited to have them come over.
Next time we'll have the party early... like 11 or 12 because 2pm is WAY too long for a 4 year old to wait.
While waitling for her friends to show up, Caitlin and I were in the back yard... I turned around and found her sitting on the ground like this!

TOTALLY caught me off gaurd... I asked her what she was doing.
She said she was "being the monkey..." (my guess is, Rafiki from The Lion King!) Justin just said... "Or the monkey from Kung Fu Panda." We'll have to ask her later. We'll get back to you on that.
Diego Birthday Cake!! (and now you are thinking... Gee this family eats a lot of cake.)
ha. so?
Here are all of Caitlin's buddies! We had a fun time together!
Hours after the party ended, Caitlin was still playing with that spider pinyata... this girl is gonna be a ball player!! It was a lot of fun to watch!

What a sweetheart! I love how all the little ones are looking in different directions in the picture. Max still talks about the party and how "Tate-lin is my fwend."

Ok that picture of the kids sitting on the table made me laugh so hard. Caitlin is SO your daughter. She has so much spunk and character. I love it! Will is such a tender heart. I can't get enough of your children. Love them tons and tons.
