Callie's Birthday #3 (And final)

The cake (which will have its own blog post later if I remember)!
The decorations!

The birthday dinner! For their birthday, the kids get to pick their favorite meal! So, for Callie the choice was easy... HOT DOGS!


Chowing down!


TIME FOR PRESENTS!
Who would have thought she would be so thrilled by a cheap stuffed rat?!

And of course... balls! She loves balls! And she throws balls!


Opening presents requires total concentration!

Finger puppets... oh boy! There are a ton of them and she brings them up to me with one finger in the air ready for me to put them on her!

Although Jovie helped wrap the presents and knew what was in them, it was a TRAGETY that she was not opening them!

Jovie claiming the horse in Callie's barn set for herself! Callie and Lettie were really cute later that night. Each had a mom and baby set of the animals from the barn and were playing. Callie had the horses and Jovie had the sheep and Lettie had the cows!

See the ball... balls are for throwing... all the time! Even in parking lots on windy days... but that is another story entirely!

Thanks Miss Carrie and Nana Sky!
And boy was this present wrapped well!!!
She thoroughly enjoyed opening it!

Clothes for the little fashionista!

Jovie still devastated... she was VERY tired!

Jovie got to help with Callie's last present! A pop-up tent!

And of course she had to take her clothes with her! She gathered up every piece of clothing her little arms could carry and brought them into the tent!



A failed attempt at getting dressed!
She was in the tent trying to put the shorts on herself... in her tent! She ended up with both legs in one hole and waddled out of the tent trying to walk! It was so cute!
Woo hoo! Another $2 for my collection!

Cake time! Silas with a messy cake face!

Modeling her new dress! She loved it! She would not let me take it off when she went to bed! She cuddled up to her new "cheese" in her new dress and fell right to sleep! She was so tired!

Because Callie thinks the most fun part of the birthday is blowing out the candles... I re-lit them a bunch of times and let her blow them out! Before she could blow them out she had to sing "Happy Birthday" to herself! "Happy Birthday Callie!" Then she also started to sing happy birthday to someone else, but we never figured out who! Here is a pic and a lot of video!

Levi's hair is so long! Looks like you got a few things at Ikea for Callie :) We have those finger puppets and that tent looks like an Ikea tent :) Man, I miss Ikea! Looks like a fun birthday!

I have determined... Ikea shall make me fat and in debt! We have bought 4 shelf units, 1 desk, 1 table, 2 lights... and yes, ALL of Callie's birthday presents there! We were in desperate need of some storage!

And then their cinnamon rolls... don't get me started! mmm!

I shall post all my new room set ups when I am done!

Happy birthday dear Callie! So cute! In the last video, I thought I heard her singing happy birthday dear mama, and also dear elmo. Dunno! But too cute!
