Kyree and Dana's Birthday - Part 2

The day of our actual birthday was a busy day. Kaela was home sick but thankfully she was starting to feel better so she helped me get things ready. Because we had been gone all weekend and didn't get back until Sunday evening we had to go buy balloons, cake ingredients, and presents. Kyree loves balloons so we bought a lot of helium balloons to fill the living room.

Kyree dressed up to go to school. She was so excited to go to that day. On their birthdays they get to be line leader and wear a special hat. And we took cupcakes to share with her class.

When Kyree got home from school, Kaela had a little tea party all ready for her.

Then Kyree chose Cracker Barrel for dinner.

When we got home, we did presents and cake. Kyree decided she wanted Tinkerbell on her cake(she changed her mind constantly up till that morning). I made a pink cake with purple frosting and Kaela wrote Kyree's name on it. It's a pretty dreadful looking cake even for me (and my cakes are terrible!). But Kyree loved it and that's all that matters!

We had a great day. I love sharing my birthday with Kyree. She's been a momma's girl since the day she was born and it's only fitting that we share our special day. I can't believe my baby girl is 5! She has a great, funny personality and she keeps us on our toes. The other night she came downstairs and told Doug and I, "I know why I don't sleep at night - I'm nocturnal!" (My girls don't sleep. Kaela seems to be starting to outgrow that phase and sleeps better, but because Kyree naps at school during the day she's usually up until at least 11:00, usually later.). She is constantly dressing up in multiple outfits a day and all she wanted for her birthday was clothes, which she got lots of. She loves to tell me that she's unique, just like her name. And she definitely is!
