Sunday July 6th...Catie's BIG 8th Birthday

As is tradition in our home...on a person's birthday they get the Special Plate and whatever they want for breakfast....and Catie chose mint chocolate chip ice cream for her breakfast....she devoured that plate in record time....yes, that's right a plateful of icecream...

Here is Catie opening a special gift from Nana. It is a beautiful handpainted sarong from a woman my Mom knows in Aruba..she painted a dolphin on this special for Catie.
ahhh...paydirt! Harry Potter 7!! Catie is currently obsessed with the Harry Potter series. She's blown through books 1-3, and is 1/2 way through book 4. Nana and Grampa came through with books 5, 6 & 7 for birthday gifts... they also came through with a load of clothes and some $$ for Catie to spend at Target...


reading one of her birthday cards...


We went to Finnegan's for dinner...and the girls and I got a picture together...I'm always taking the pictures and there are hardly any of me and the girls (but I don't like to have my picture taken anways)... not sure what's up with Meigan's hair-do though...she's really into putting a lot of "things" in her hair these days...and this night was no exception...2 headbands, a ponytail holder and 2 barretts.....
not sure who the evil person was that put a cosmo infront of me though...naughty... :)

and here is the birthday girl enjoying an icecream with a candle...


Catie hasn't had her party yet...most of her friends were away over the 4th of July weekend...so we'll have her party in the next few weeks.
