HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy 5th Birthday Olivia!!

Saturday was Olivia's birthday. This was a big day for Olivia. She had been planning this party for several weeks and we had to make a paper chain to count down the days. And then finally we cut the last chain and her big day was here.

For some reason she had to have a number 5 candle for her cake and it needed to be pink. I searched high and low for the pink number five candle but had no luck. I found every color but pink. So she finally decided that it just needed to be a 5. So on Friday I went to Everything Party and they were out of the number 5 candle. Same story at Target. Was everyone turning 5 this weekend? But I finally found the number 5 candle. Her butterfly cake turned out pretty well. We were up until 1:00am finishing the cake. (Note to self - next year pay to have someone else make the cake.)

We ended the day at the Mariners Game and of course a trip to the Mariners game is not complete without a visit with the Moose. For the first time in our history of attending Mariners games we actually left early. Ok, well early was 11:15pm after 10 innings of play and the game was still not over. But with a 10 month old asleep, a 5 year old whining to go home, and an alarm clock going off at 6:30am the next morning we decided to throw in the towel. It turns out that the Mariners also threw in the towel the next inning.

Up next for my 5 year old - Kindergarten.
