The blog a day early!?!? I know, it's unheard of but tomorrow is Mother's Day and between church, baseball, and family plans, the day is already slammed. I decided to give myself a Mother's Day gift of not having to write the blog, so here we are a day early getting it done.
This actually was a pretty special week. This week was all about our Carrigan girl. On Wednesday she celebrated her last single digit birthday. She planned and executed the perfect day. We started the day with cinnamon rolls and presents. C.C. got spoiled with tons of crafting supplies, an infinity cube, and roller skates from Grandpa and Lollie. She then headed to school but not without a special birthday Lunchable for lunch. She didn't make it through the school day, however, before I pulled her out for a special trip to the pool. Not only did she get to leave school early to go to the pool, but two of her friends also left early to join us. As soon as we left the pool, she went with her church "Activity Day Girls" group to go shopping. They were having a lesson on budgeting, following a lesson on fashion and their "colors", so they went to pick out a new outfit. She made it home with a new outfit just in time for dinner (potstickers per her choice) and then the family started to arrive for ice cream cake. Carrigan chose a watermelon themed cake with yellow cake (dyed red and with chocolate chip "seeds", cookies and cream ice cream, and a green Cool Whip frosting. She got a squishy ball and treats from the Browns, A "good for" for a mani/pedi girls' day from the Ioapa's, and a "good for" for a sewing experience with Nana and Papa. All in all it was pretty much the perfect day!
As if the perfect day wasn't enough, we continued the birthday festivities today with a cakesicle making birthday party today for C.C.'s friends. We made cakesicles, ate snacks and cakesicles, and opened presents. It was the perfect crafty party for our crafty girl.
We are so excited to have had this time to celebrate our C.C. girl. She is the best and we are beyond blessed to have her in our family.
