Caitlin's 7th Birthday

C turned 7 in June and we had a great time celebrating her birthday. She got to spend a day with each of her grandmas getting the royal treatment by both. With her day with Mike's mom she got to feed horses, have lunch and then came home with Princess May Freckles. That is the newest addition to our family -it's a little black and white hamster! I never had a hamster growing up and even though I wasn't very happy about the idea of a hamster, Princess May is growing on me. She is pretty cute the way she runs and runs in her wheel - her little behind wiggling all around. She will actually come out when I call her name at her cage and stand on her back legs waiting for us to open the cage to give her food. The only I don't like is the pooping whenever she gets nervous. Hamster poop - gross!! Mike and his family are used to having hamsters since Mike's sister had a bunch growing up. Sorry for the digress... With C's day with my mom, she was able to go to lunch anywhere she wanted to go - which is no surprise that it was McDonalds. Then off to the park, zoo and then shopping! C loves to shop!!! After a day of shopping Mike, M and I met up with my mom, Bob and C and had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Better choice C!! So for C's birthday party with her friends we invited a few friends to go to Build-a-Bear and then out to pizza afterwards. It was so much fun and the kids had a wonderful time! While we were out to dinner with my parents we reminisced about the day C was born - I remember it like it was yesterday! I can't believe it was 7 years ago! She is growing up so fast! I am so proud you C! You are growing up to be an amazing, kind, generous, smart and funny little girl. You've gone from level 2 to level 6 in swim class, you are now reading full chapter books, you are learning to golf and play tennis! You’ve made some wonderful friends at school and have been such a blessing to us. We love you so much!
