On the big day itself we met Jeremy after work for dinner at Pieology, cupcakes, and a trip to Build-a-Bear. The pizza and cupcakes were delicious and after dinner C.C. got to open her present from Merrick (A "Frozen" doll that she was over the moon about). Then we headed to Build-a-Bear. This was the first trip to Build-a-Bear not only for Carrigan, but for everyone in our family and we had a blast. C.C. got to pick her animal, help stuff it, give it a heart, give it a bath, and fill out a birth certificate for it with the name she picked out. Carrigan named her new pony "Beauty Pie". She also bought a complete outfit for it (with the help of mom and dad and her birthday money from Great Grandpa and Grandma Clifford). Unfortunately, we didn't get it dressed until we got home and then neglected to get a picture of "Beauty Pie" in all her glory. My favorite part of the day was Carrigan whispering "I love her so much" as we were building "Beauty Pie".
Yesterday was all about Carrigan again as we got together at the park for more presents, cupcakes, and a pinata. C.C. had requested a "Pinkalious" birthday party and we did our best to deliver. I think everyone a great time.
I would also be remiss if I didn't mention two of C.C. favorite gifts. Nana and Papa gave her a travel case full of art supplies which she calls her "homework" or her "diary". I may have mentioned this before but that girl is all about her crafts and this gift was perfect for her. The other gift was pretend make-up from Grandpa and Lollie. Literally every day since she got it, she and I have sat and done our make-up together. She loves feeling like a big girl and I love that her "make-up" is made of plastic and craft foam.
Happy birthday C.C. girl! We love you and are so happy you are part of our family!
