Happy Birthday, Caitlin

Posted by: purcellsonwheels | January 16, 2009 | 4 Comments |

Caitlin turned 5 today.  I can hardly believe my youngest is 5.  We had a very good day.  We went to Denny’s for her favorite breakfast, pancakes.  Since it was her birthday, her meal was free.  Then we went to Bookman’s, a cool used book and other media store with several locations around Arizona, and got some books.  Since it was her birthday, we got some of them for free, which was also very cool.  She and Ian have gotten into Webkinz, and there is a special kind called Lil’ Kinz, which are only available at Walgreens.  We gave her some money for her birthday, and she decided to spend it on these things, so we had to find a Walgreens.  Then we stopped and bought her a cake, since we are too lazy to bake one in the RV.  We’ve used the stove, but never the oven.  Anyway, she wanted to share her cake with some of the gazillion kids here in this ‘resort’, so we did that.  She had a great time talking on the phone with her best friends, Jenna and Dylan, back in Orlando, and she talked to the Grandmas.  She had a very busy day.

Alien pancakes at Denny’sI don’t know why she wants the cherries so bad, she won’t eat them.Talking to Jenna on the telephoneThis is the cake she picked, she wanted to decorate it herself.  It ended up with multi-colored swirls of icing from tubes.Party with the neighbor kidsI forced myself not to think of the chemicals in this awful dye.  I think for next year’s parties, we’ll have to go with homemade cakes and frosting.YuckOpening presents, we almost forgot to do this, since we were so busy all day.

Happy Birthday, Caitlin!

(no I’m not a total stranger; I’m a friend of Marie Rodriguez, who mentioned you were taking this fabulous trip – wish I could do the same!)

Happy Birthday, Caitlin!!! She’s looking more grownup all the time. Love that blue/purple tongue….

Happy Birthday Caitlin!!! Sounds like you had a great day – I’m so glad for you! =)

Party with the neighbor kids!?!? Have we been replaced? Caitlin looks so grown up in her birthday pictures. What a big 5 year old! Jenna will love the picture of Caitlin talking on the phone to her.
