Birthday Bash


We celebrated Carli's birthday last night. She still has a lingering cough and runny nose from being sick over the weekend, but I think she still had fun. However, she started a small coughing fit as we were singing Happy Birthday and had to move the cake away a bit so she wouldn't cough all over it. :) We invited some friends over to help celebrate. We had pizza and cake and everyone had fun. It was nice to have a small family and friend party instead of the big blowouts that the older kids want with tons of kids, treats bags, activities, etc. :)

Here are some pics from the party. I let Carli open a gift from Grandma in the morning so she would have a cute outfit to wear for her special day. Then it's time for the party. We did a heart theme for the party with the heart cake, plates and napkins in a heart pattern, too. I just thought they were fun and cute for a birthday party and easy to get since all the Valentine's Day stuff is in the stores. When we were getting everything ready for the party Kate asked why I did hearts for the party. I said I just thought they were cute! She said, "Isn't it because her middle name is Hart?!" LOL! I totally hadn't thought of that. Duh... Yes, her middle name is Hart (a family name) so the theme was perfect!!!

She loves pizza!

She has no clue why there is fire on her cake. ;) I made a cupcake cake for her. It was so easy and so fun! I love how it turned out!!!

Mommy and Carli

She loves the Baby Einstein videos. She got Baby DaVinci last night.

Grandma and Grandpa sent her this fun fridge magnet set. She loves it!

She got a double doll stroller for the twin babies she got from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas. Our friends brought her baby bottles so she can "feed" her babies.

We got her a new bike. She always wants to ride the big kids' bikes so she is excited to have her own finally!

Sounds like you had a fun/busy day- Happy (late) birthday to Carli! You did a great job on the cake (cakes? cupcakes? it was cute any which way!), and you were still smiling at the end of the day, it just proves that you are indeed a super-mom!
