Happy Birthday to Me!

2016-01-24

Since I've missed out on birthdays the past few years due to illness, this year I had four parties to celebrate turning five.

We started out at school, with the Winter Dance.

Cookies Mommy made for the party.

The food table Mommy prepared.

Everyone having fun!

On Friday we went to the amusement park and the LEGO store. I rode the orange roller coaster fourteen times (eleven with Daddy, three with GG), I rode the crazy roller coaster with Mommy and GG, and Daddy and I went on the bumper cars four times. And a bunch of other rides. We had Noodles for lunch and frozen yogurt for a snack. And I got the new fire station at the LEGO store!

This is the fire station!

On Saturday we had a party at Great-grandpa Les and Great-grandma Muriel's house. GG, Kara, Freya, Josh, and Nancy all came to this one, and so did Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne.

And then on Sunday we had one more party, this one at the Tower where Great-grandma Dorothy lives.

This time it's PAW Patrol cupcakes!

Lots of people came to celebrate.

And then it was time to pack up and go home. We had a little time to play after everything was unpacked, so of course we played with LEGO!

That was it for my exciting birthday week! It was nice to be healthy for a change - good thing I got sick the week before, eh?

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to everyone for all of my wonderful presents and cards that I got in the mail and at my parties! And special thanks to Mommy for planning it all and making all that food!
