Party Animals

A couple days before the big Birthday day we had a family birthday party. Everyone including Gram and Brad were here except my mom. We had fun and it was a great way to start the birthday week!

Ella helped Casey take off his shoes...such a little mother already.

Before...

After... (Kaiya isn't a fan of chocolate cake so she got her own cupcake)

We started the birthday morning with presents in bed for daddy! Ella and Kaiya painted him mugs. The one in the picture is from Ella.

Kaiya also opened a present before school. After school she opened her other ones.

I took Kaiya to school and we dropped off Ella at my moms house and headed to breakfast to celebrate Cirdan's birthday. His favorite breakfast spot is Wild Wheat Bakery Cafe in Kent. Then we went to pick up Ella and grab Kaiya lunch to take to her school. She chose to have Arby's this year. I thought we were just dropping off food and cupcakes but her teacher asked if we wanted to stay...so we did! Ella helped hand out the napkins while Kaiya and her friend Alina gave the kids cupcakes.

Kaiya had 2 dance classes but we let her skip one so that we could go out to Red Robin. Hailey and Brett also came to celebrate (her birthday was the week before). Dad also was able to come have some RR birthday dinner. We did have an issue but I won't go there...it might make you lose your appetite! Red Robin took care of it...and only because Cirdan talked to the manager for about 5 minutes. We ended up getting the birthday people (4) dinners for free.

We had a fun day full of celebrating Cirdan, Kaiya and my Dad's birthday!! Happy Birthday!!
